In re J.R.
This is an appeal from the juvenile court’s jurisdictional findings of July 7, 2011 and dispositional order of September 2, 2011. Pursuant to these orders, the juvenile court found minor J.R. committed one felony count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon resulting in great bodily injury, continued him as a ward, and placed him on probation under home supervision subject to serving 180 days in Juvenile Hall with 120 days of credit for time served. The juvenile court thereafter granted minor’s request for an order regarding eligibility for special immigrant juvenile status. This order, among other things, included findings that it was contrary to minor’s best interests to return to El Salvador and was in his best interests to remain in the United States. Following entry of this order and during pendency of this appeal, minor, who had reached the age of majority, consented through counsel to voluntary departure from this country in lieu of deportation. For reasons set forth below, we affirm the juvenile court’s decisions.
