In re J.T.
Following a contested jurisdictional hearing, the juvenile court sustained a charge that the minor J.T. (minor) possessed a short-barreled rifle, a felony (Pen. Code, § 12020, subd. (a)(1)). Having previously found minor unsuitable for deferred entry of judgment (DEJ), the juvenile court denied minor’s request to reduce the offense to a misdemeanor and adjudged him a ward of the court. The juvenile court removed minor from his parents’ custody, committed him to the Juvenile Hall for 60 days with 28 days of credit, declared the maximum term to be three years, and placed him on probation, subject to various conditions.
On appeal, minor contends the juvenile court’s decision to deny his request for deferred entry of judgment was an abuse of discretion; minor further contends that the fines listed in the minute order but not pronounced at disposition should be stricken. We disagree with the first contention, but agree with the second, and shall affirm the judgment but order the disposition order corrected accordingly.
