*        Before Wiseman, Acting P.J., Levy, J., and Detjen, J.
       On October 31, 2012, appellant, Anthony E., admitted violating his probation in
Tulare County Superior Court case No. JJD065887.
       On November 15, 2012, the court committed Anthony to the Tulare County
Juvenile Ranch Camp. Following independent review of the record pursuant to People v.
Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, we affirm.
                                         FACTS
       On January 19, 2012, the prosecution filed a first amended petition charging
Anthony with possession of live ammunition by a minor (former Pen. Code, § 12101,
subd. (b)(1)) and carrying a dirk or dagger (former Pen. Code, § 12020, subd. (a)(4)).
       On February 24, 2012, Anthony admitted the petition allegations contingent upon
the court granting him deferred entry of judgment (DEJ).
       On March 26, 2012, the court found Anthony not suitable for DEJ and Anthony
withdrew his admission of the two charges.
       On June 13, 2012, Anthony admitted the possession of a dirk or dagger charge as a
misdemeanor and the remaining charge was dismissed. The court then placed Anthony
on formal probation and placed him in the custody of his mother.
       On July 2, 2012, the district attorney filed a petition charging Anthony with
possession of live ammunition by a minor, a misdemeanor.
       On July 3, 2012, Anthony admitted the charge and was again placed on formal
probation. However, after that date, Anthony did not attend school, anger management
classes or substance abuse counseling as required by his terms and conditions of
probation. Additionally, Anthony’s house was a known gang hangout to Visalia police
officers and on several occasions gang members were seen by officers congregating
inside and outside his residence.
       On October 26, 2012, Anthony was with two documented gang members at his
residence when he was arrested for violating his probation.

                                             2
       On October 30, 2012, the probation department filed a notice of probation
violation alleging Anthony was in violation of his terms and conditions by continuing to
communicate and associate with gang members and associates, possessing illegal
substances, failing to attend school, and failing to attend substance abuse and anger
management counseling.
       On October 31, 2012, Anthony admitted the alleged probation violations.
       On November 15, 2012, the court set Anthony’s maximum term of confinement at
one year two months and it committed him to the Tulare County Juvenile Ranch Camp
for a maximum term of 365 days.
       Anthony’s appellate counsel has filed a brief which summarizes the facts, with
citations to the record, raises no issues, and asks this court to independently review the
record. (People v. Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436.) Anthony has not responded to this
court’s invitation to submit additional briefing.
       Following an independent review of the record we find that no reasonably
arguable factual or legal issues exist.
                                          DISPOSITION
       The judgment is affirmed.

                                               3
