In re Daniel L.
Minor and appellant Daniel L. was placed home on probation after the juvenile court sustained a petition declaring him a ward of the court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602, based on a finding he attempted to commit felony vandalism in violation of Penal Code sections 664 and 594, subdivision (a).[1] The juvenile court ruled the maximum period of confinement is 18 months. In his timely appeal, appellant contends the evidence is insufficient to support the finding the attempted vandalism was a felony, in that there is no evidence the damage would have been in the amount of $400 or more. He further contends the juvenile court did not have the authority to set a maximum term of confinement. The Attorney General argues that the minute order of the disposition needs to be corrected to delete the indication that appellant was ordered removed from parental custody.[2]
