In re Marcos H.
Seventeen-year-old Marcos H. entered a negotiated admission to one count of smuggling aliens into the country (8 U.S.C 1324(a)(2)(B)(iii)). The juvenile court declared Marcos a ward (Welf. & Inst. Code, 602), and placed him on probation, conditioned on him spending 73 days in juvenile hall. Marcos appeals, contending the juvenile court did not have jurisdiction because the petition filed against him alleged he violated a federal statute. Court affirm.
