In re C.C.
The juvenile court found C.C. (minor) to be a person described by Welfare and Institutions Code section 602[1] (wardship for violation of law) in that he had possessed weapons on school grounds (weapons 602) and committed first degree burglary (burglary 602). It placed minor on probation. Minor left home in violation of probation. The juvenile court then sustained a section 777 petition (violation of probation not amounting to crime) and continued minor on probation. It then placed minor in the Juvenile Drug Treatment Court (JTC) program after signing an agreement with minor that outlined the conditions of minors participation in the program. After minor successfully completed the program, it terminated minors probation stemming from the weapons 602. But it refused to terminate minors probation stemming from the burglary 602 because minor had not fulfilled a condition of probation to make restitution to the burglary victim. On appeal, minor contends that he is entitled to have his probation in the burglary 602 dismissed pursuant to the JTC agreement. court agree. Court therefore reverse the judgment and direct dismissal of minors probation in the burglary 602.
