In re L.L.
A Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition was filed in 2004, alleging that defendant and appellant L.L. (minor) committed vandalism (Penal Code, 594, subd. (b)(1)), second degree commercial burglary ( 459), and conspiracy to commit a crime. ( 182, subd. (a)(1).) Minor admitted the vandalism allegation. A juvenile court found the allegation true and dismissed the other counts. The court granted Deferred Entry of Judgment (DEJ) and placed minor on probation. Within three months, minor admitted the allegation that he failed to obey all laws. The court thus found that minor had not complied with the DEJ conditions, lifted the DEJ, reinstated the petition, declared minor a ward, and placed him on Success probation. Within a few months, minor admitted violating the terms of his probation. The court continued minor on probation and ordered him to serve 30 days in juvenile hall, with custody to remain with his parents upon release. A few months later, minor admitted to violating his probation terms again. The court continued minor on probation and ordered him to serve 45 days in juvenile hall, with custody to remain with his parents upon release.
On September 24, 2006, a subsequent Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition was filed alleging that minor committed a carjacking ( 215, subd. (a)) and robbery. ( 211.) Minor admitted the robbery allegation, and the court dismissed the other count. Following a contested dispositional hearing, and after considering the probation officers recommendation, the court committed minor to the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) for the maximum confinement period of five years eight months.
Minor filed a Notice of Appeal, challenging his commitment to DJJ. The judgment is affirmed.
