              IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

                                     SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

                                                DIVISION SEVEN

In re O.E., a Person Coming Under the                                B250450
Juvenile Court Law.                                                  (Los Angeles County
                                                                     Super. Ct. No. TJ20817)

THE PEOPLE,

         Plaintiff and Respondent,

         v.

O.E.,

         Defendant and Appellant.

                   APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County.
Tamara Hall, Judge. Affirmed as modified.

                   Courtney M. Selan, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for
Defendant and Appellant.
                   No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent.

                                     _____________________________
       Police detained O.E. after he and a female companion attacked Ingrid Marquez,
grabbed her cell phone and fled from pursuing officers.
       The People filed a Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition alleging
O.E., then 16 years old, had committed second degree robbery (Pen. Code, § 211, count
1), a felony, and had resisted, obstructed or delayed a peace officer (Pen. Code, § 148,
subd. (a)(1), count 2), a misdemeanor. O.E. denied the allegations.
       At the jurisdiction hearing, the juvenile court granted O.E.’s motion under Welfare
and Institutions Code section 701.1 to dismiss count 2 for insufficient evidence. The
court found true the robbery allegation of count 1 and sustained the petition. At the
disposition hearing, the court declared O.E. a ward of the court, ordered him home on
probation and calculated a five-year maximum term of confinement.
       We appointed counsel to represent O.E. on appeal. After examination of the
record, counsel filed an opening brief in which no issues were raised. On December 2,
2013, we advised O.E. he had 30 days within which to personally submit any contentions
or issues he wished us to consider. No response has been received to date.
       We have examined the entire record and are satisfied O.E.’s attorney has fully
complied with the responsibilities of counsel and no arguable issues exist. (Smith v.
Robbins (2000) 528 U.S. 259, 277-284 [120 S. Ct. 746, 145 L. Ed. 2d 756]; People v. Kelly
(2006) 40 Cal. 4th 106; People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal. 3d 436, 441.)
       The juvenile court calculated a five-year maximum period of confinement that is
of no legal effect because O.E. was not ordered removed from the physical custody of his
parent or guardian. (See Welf. & Inst. Code, § 726, subd. (c); In re Matthew A. (2008)
165 Cal. App. 4th 537, 541 [court required to specify maximum period of physical
confinement only when minor removed from physical custody of his or her parent or
guardian]; In re Ali A. (2006) 139 Cal. App. 4th 569, 573-574 [same].) Accordingly, we
strike that term from the court’s minute order.

                                             2
                                      DISPOSITION

      The July 19, 2013 minute order is amended to strike the maximum term of
confinement. As amended the order is affirmed.

                                                                 WOODS, J.

We concur:
