In re M.R.
M. R. appeals from an order of the juvenile court committing him to the California Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) for a maximum term of nine years based on offenses found true in a sustained Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition. The sustained offenses are possession of a firearm on school grounds and assault with a firearm. (Pen. Code, 626.9, subd. (f)(1), 245, subd. (a)(2).) Appellant contends that the court abused its discretion in committing him to DJJ, and that the commitment violates his federal due process rights, as well as the intent and spirit of several recent amendments to the Welfare and Institutions Code. Court affirm.
