 IN RE DELINQUENCY OF C.D.
Decision of the Court

T H U M M A, Judge:

¶1 C.D. appeals from her delinquency adjudication for
disorderly conduct, a class one misdemeanor, and her placement on
standard probation. Her counsel filed a brief stating counsel had reviewed
the entire record but found “no arguable issues for appeal” and requested
this court to review the record for error under Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967), State v. Leon, 104 Ariz. 297 (1969) and Maricopa Cnty. Juv. Action
No. JV-117258, 163 Ariz. 484 (App. 1989). Because the record reveals no
error, the superior court order is affirmed.

FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

¶2 C.D. turned eighteen in August 2025. In March 2025, the State
filed a petition charging C.D. with three misdemeanors (disorderly
conduct, endangerment and assault), alleged to have been committed in
Yuma in November 2024. See Ariz. Rev. Stat. (A.R.S.) §§ 13-2904(A)(1),
-1201(A) & -1203(A)(1) (2025).1 At the advisory hearing later in March 2025,
C.D. accepted a plea agreement admitting to disorderly conduct, with the
other charges being dismissed. After a colloquy, the court accepted C.D.’s
plea, found her delinquent of disorderly conduct and dismissed the other
charges with prejudice.

¶3 At a May 2025 disposition hearing, the superior court
reviewed a disposition report and heard from counsel, C.D.’s mother, and
grandmother, and C.D. The court then placed C.D. on standard probation
until she turned eighteen. The court ordered C.D. to complete 12 hours of
community restitution, participate in counseling services as directed, have
no contact with the victim, pay $300 in restitution and complete a four-hour
course on “decision making and good judgement.”

¶4 This court has jurisdiction over C.D.’s timely appeal pursuant
to Article 6, Section 9, of the Arizona Constitution, A.R.S. §§ 8-235(A), 12-
120.21(A) and 12-2101(A) and Ariz. R.P. Juv. Ct. 602-03.

DISCUSSION

¶5 C.D. was allowed to file a supplemental brief, but has not
done so. In her notice of appeal, however, C.D. listed “KEY issues for
Appeal” and a “Narrative Statement of Incident.” In that filing, C.D. writes:
(1) she did not see the State’s evidence; (2) there was no evidence that she
“harmed anyone physically;” she “did not strike anyone;” and she used
“pepper spray” in self-defense; (4) police reports “contain statements that
are not true” and do not reflect newly discovered evidence and (5) the facts
“were not fully [and] fairly considered.”

¶6 C.D.’s filing appears to suggest that she did not commit
disorderly conduct because she did not physically contact or harm anyone.
But the type of disorderly conduct C.D. pled delinquent to does not require
physical contact or harm; it may be committed by engaging in “seriously
disruptive behavior” with no contact. See A.R.S. § 13-2904(A)(1).

¶7 At the March 2025 advisory hearing, the court conducted a
colloquy with C.D., during which the State provided a factual basis for
disorderly conduct, and C.D. agreed. The court then found C.D. delinquent
of disorderly conduct, after finding C.D. “has knowingly, intelligently, and
voluntarily waived her constitutional rights. [C.D.] has admitted her
wrongful conduct, and a factual basis is established. [C.D.] understands the
nature and consequences of her admission.” C.D. has not provided a
transcript of the advisory hearing, which this court presumes would
support these findings by the superior court. See Myrick v. Maloney, 235
Ariz. 491, 495 ¶ 11 (App. 2014). C.D. does not assert that the court failed to
follow appropriate procedures in conducting the colloquy or accepting her
plea. See Ariz. R.P. Juv. Ct. 220. Nor does C.D. claim that the disposition
was contrary to the agreed-upon consequences or did not follow
appropriate procedures. See Ariz. R.P. Juv. Ct. 222. Nor has she shown how
the allegations in her notice of appeal indicate her plea lacks a factual basis,
that the disposition was improper, or that the proceedings should have
been resolved differently.

¶8 C.D. was present and represented by counsel at all stages of
the proceedings. See A.R.S. §§ 8-307(A), -221(A); Ariz. R.P. Juv. Ct. 206(a)–
(b), 208(a). She was allowed to address the court directly at her disposition
hearing, and did so. The court imposed a disposition within its discretion.
See A.R.S. § 8-341(A)(1)(a); In re John G., 191 Ariz. 205, 207 ¶ 8 (App. 1998)
(abuse of discretion review of disposition orders). On the record provided,
C.D. has shown no reversible error. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744.

CONCLUSION

¶9 The adjudication and disposition are affirmed. The filing of
this decision ends counsel’s obligation to represent C.D. in this appeal.
Counsel need only inform C.D. of the outcome of the appeal and her future
options, unless counsel finds an issue that would merit a petition for review
to the Arizona Supreme Court. See State v. Shattuck, 140 Ariz. 582, 584–85
(1984); Ariz. R. P. Juv. Ct. 609.
