In re S.W. CA1/3
S.W. (minor) appeals from a dispositional order committing him to the county’s Youthful Offender Treatment Program (YOTP). He contends that the juvenile court abused its discretion in committing him to YOTP absent substantial evidence that such a commitment would benefit him or that an alternative commitment to the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility (the ranch) was unavailable. He also contends the order should be modified to specify that the maximum term of confinement is five years, rather than five years four months. We find no abuse of discretion in minor’s commitment to YOTP, but agree that the maximum term of confinement should be modified.
