In re E.L.
Delinquent minor E.L. (minor) appeals from a judgment committing him to the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) (the successor to the California Youth Authority or CYA, see 3 Witkin & Epstein, Cal. Crim. Law (3d ed. 2000 & 2011 supp.) Punishment, § 8). He contends a DJJ commitment was statutorily prohibited because his “most recent offense alleged in any petition†was not a DJJ-eligible offense (Welf. & Inst. Code,[1] § 733, subd. (c)), the juvenile court improperly required him to register as an arsonist, and the juvenile court abused its discretion in committing minor to DJJ absent evidence he would benefit therefrom. We disagree and shall affirm.
