*        Before Gomes, Acting P.J., Kane, J., and Franson, J.
          Appellant, D.G., a minor, was initially adjudged a ward of the juvenile court on
November 28, 2011, following her adjudication of robbery (Pen. Code, § 211). The court
declared the offense to be a felony and placed appellant on probation.
          On August 1, 2012,1 appellant admitted allegations that she violated her probation
by failing to attend and complete her court-ordered anger management program, obey
directives of the probation department, obey all laws, and refrain from associating with
her coparticipants in the robbery of which she was adjudicated. That same date, the court
readjudged appellant a ward of the court, continued her on probation and ordered that she
participate in the Girl‟s Treatment Program.
          On November 7, a supplemental wardship petition was filed in which it was
alleged appellant violated her probation by failing to obey all laws and “[f]ail[ing] to
refrain from possessing stolen property.” On November 28, appellant admitted the latter
allegation. At the disposition hearing on December 12, the court ordered appellant
committed to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile
Facilities (DJF) and set appellant‟s maximum period of confinement at five years, less
235 days credit for time served. The instant appeal followed.
          Appellant‟s appointed appellate counsel has filed an opening brief which
summarizes the pertinent facts, with citations to the record, raises no issues, and asks that
this court independently review the record. (People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436.)
Appellant has not responded to this court‟s invitation to submit additional briefing. We
affirm.

1         Further references to dates of events are to dates in 2012.

                                                2
                                          FACTS2
        According to a Fresno Police Department (FPD) report, on November 1, FPD
officers, responding to a report of a robbery at a restaurant, made contact with the victim,
who told officers the following: She was sitting outside the restaurant with a companion,
waiting for a table, with her purse positioned between her legs and her cell phone in her
hand, when appellant and two males sat down next to her. Thereafter, appellant “stood
up and grabbed the victim‟s purse and ran away.” The two males “followed [appellant]
and one of the males grabbed the victim‟s cell phone out of her hand and also ran away.”
        The report further states the following: Officers, after speaking with the victim,
saw appellant, “who matched the description of the female in the call,” along with “other
subjects,” near the restaurant. Appellant and “an adult male” ran from the officers and
the officers gave chase. Appellant and the adult male “were subsequently caught and
detained.” The victim‟s cell phone was found near the spot where appellant was
apprehended. The victim‟s companion identified appellant “during an „infield [sic] line-
up.‟”
        Appellant was 17 years old at the time of the events described above.

2      Because the instant appeal is limited to the disposition order of December 12,
which arose out of appellant‟s second violation of probation, we forgo summary of the
facts of the underlying offense and the previous probation violation and we limit our
factual summary to the facts giving rise to the second probation violation. (See People v.
Glaser (1965) 238 Cal.App.2d 819, 821, disapproved on other grounds in People v.
Barnum (2003) 29 Cal.4th 1210, 1218–1219, 1225 [“Although an appeal may lie from a
subsequent order, which revokes probation and places the sentence into effect, the
matters arising prior to pronouncement of judgment cannot thereby be reviewed”].) Our
factual summary is taken from the report of the probation officer filed November 14.

                                              3
                                      DISCUSSION
       Following independent review of the record, we have concluded that no
reasonably arguable legal or factual issues exist.
                                      DISPOSITION
       The judgment is affirmed.
