In re Michael D.
Defendant and appellant, Michael D., admitted having committed “vandalism [with] over $400 [in] damage-graffiti,†a felony. (Pen. Code, § 594, subd. (a).) The juvenile court declared Michael D. a ward of the court (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 602), but did not sustain the petition filed against him. Instead, the court deferred entry of judgment (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 790) and placed Michael D. at home on probation for between 12 and 36 months. As a condition of probation, Michael D. was to pay $2,904.96 in restitution and a restitution fine in the amount of $110. At proceedings held on August 29, 2012, Michael D. made a motion requesting the juvenile court to find that he was unable to pay the restitution and the restitution fine (see Welf. & Inst. Code, § 742.16) and to dismiss the matter pending against him (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 790). The juvenile court denied Michael D.’s motions and determined that the order of deferred entry of judgment was to remain in full force and effect. Michael D. appealed. We affirm the juvenile court’s orders.
