In re C.Y.
Appellant C.Y. was charged with unlawfully taking or driving a car and receiving stolen property. He was found eligible to receive deferred entry of judgment (DEJ) and admitted the allegations. However, the court determined he was not suitable for DEJ and permitted him to withdraw his admissions. Thereafter, appellant admitted the vehicle offense and he was adjudged a ward of the court, ordered to perform community service, and placed on an electronic monitoring program.
On appeal, appellant argues the court abused its discretion when it found he was not suitable for DEJ, failed to make sufficient findings to support its decision, and failed to clarify whether the vehicle offense was a felony or misdemeanor. Respondent argues that appellant failed to object to the courts findings that he was not suitable for DEJ and thus waived appellate review. Respondent also argues the court inferentially found the vehicle offense was a felony. The judgment is affirmed.
