In re Anthony P.
Following a contested jurisdictional hearing, the juvenile court sustained a petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602,[1] finding true the allegations that the minor, Anthony P., had committed an assault and a battery and that the offenses were committed for the benefit of a criminal street gang. (Pen. Code, 245, subd. (a)(1), 242, 243, subd. (a), 186.22, subds. (b)(1)(B) & (d).) The minor was committed to the enhanced ranch program for six to eight months. On appeal, the minor contends that the juvenile court failed to exercise its discretion to determine whether the offenses were felonies or misdemeanors. Court remand the matter for the juvenile court to make this determination.
