In re Michael R.
Michael R., defendant below, appeals from the order of the court, following a disposition hearing, that he be committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). Michael contends that the court abused its discretion in ordering a DJJ commitment because less restrictive alternatives were appropriate and there was no evidence that he would benefit from the DJJ commitment. Michael also contends that the order of commitment wrongly specified 12 years as the maximum period of confinement and requests that order be corrected to specify 11 years and 4 months as the maximum period of confinement.
We affirm the court’s order committing Michael to the DJJ and amend the commitment order to specify 11 years and 4 months as the maximum period of confinement.
