* Before Detjen, Acting P.J., Peña, J. and Sarkisian, J.† † Judge of the Superior Court of Fresno County, assigned by the Chief Justice pursuant to article VI, section 6 of the California Constitution.
It was alleged in a juvenile wardship petition that appellant, Juan C., a minor, committed theft by acquiring or retaining possession of access card account information, with intent to defraud (Pen. Code, § 484e, subd. (d)), a felony. The petition was subsequently amended to allege, instead, a single count of petty theft (Pen. Code, §§ 484, 488), a misdemeanor. Appellant admitted that allegation, and at the subsequent disposition hearing, the juvenile court adjudged appellant a ward of the court, placed him on formal probation and ordered, inter alia, that he reside in the custody of his parents and that he pay victim restitution in the amount of $867.39.
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.
According to the report of the probation officer, records of the Porterville Police Department indicate the following. The victim is appellant’s uncle. The victim told police that appellant had been using his bank card to make online purchases without his (the victim’s) permission. Appellant, when confronted by his uncle, admitted to making several unauthorized purchases online. The victim estimated his total loss to be $867.39.
Following independent review of the record, we have concluded that no reasonably arguable legal or factual issues exist.
DISPOSITION The judgment is affirmed.
