In re Joseph M.
Joseph M. (appellant) appeals after the juvenile court sustained one count of felony receiving stolen property in a juvenile wardship proceeding (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 602).[1] Appellant’s sole contention on appeal is that the court failed to designate the receiving stolen property offense—a “wobblerâ€â€”as either a misdemeanor or a felony. We conclude the matter must be remanded for the juvenile court to exercise its discretion and expressly declare the offense a misdemeanor or felony as required by section 702. We shall otherwise affirm the juvenile court’s orders.
