In re Ruben C.
A minor, appeals a juvenile court order that he be committed to the California Youth Authority (CYA) for a maximum period of 18 months. On appeal, minor asserts the trial court erred in ordering the CYA commitment because (1) it did not conduct a mental health evaluation to determine the extent of the minor's mental disability (2) it violated the separation of powers doctrine by referring the minor's case to the Resources and Intensive Services Committee (RISC) for investigation into dispositional alternatives and (3) it did not find a probable benefit to the minor from a CYA commitment.
