DIVISION ONE

In re T.P., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law.
THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. T.P., Defendant and Appellant.	A128622 (Contra Costa County Super. Ct. No. J09-00803)

Defendant T.P. admitted possessing a knife on school grounds in violation of Penal Code section 626.10, subdivision (a), a misdemeanor. The juvenile court placed him on probation in the custody of his great-grandparents. After he twice violated his probation, the juvenile court ordered him into out-of-home placement. Defendant filed a timely notice of appeal.

On September 21, 2009, defendant violated his probation by leaving home without permission and removing his electronic monitoring ankle strap. On October 26, 2009, at a contested hearing on the probation violation, the juvenile court ordered out-of-home placement, but stayed the placement order. The court released defendant to the care and custody of his great-grandparents subject to continued electronic monitoring and counseling.
In February 2010, defendant violated his probation by leaving home without permission for three days, failing to attend school, and using marijuana. On March 18, 2010, defendant admitted the probation violations.
