| In re PRISCELLA C., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. | |
| THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. PRISCELLA C., Defendant and Appellant. |
C048787
(Super. Ct. No. J55329)
|
Priscella C., a minor who was a ward of the juvenile court and on parole from the California Youth Authority (CYA),[1] was charged with forgery (Pen. Code, § 470)[2] and giving false information to a police officer (§ 148.9, subd. (a)). At the jurisdictional hearing, the matter was submitted on the police report regarding the facts of the case. The court sustained the forgery charge, but found that the giving of false information was not true. The minor was committed to CYA.
On appeal, the minor contends (1) the evidence is insufficient to sustain the charge, (2) her submission of the matter on the police report was obtained without proper advisements, and (3) the court's failure to make the discretionary determination regarding her maximum confinement period based upon the circumstances of her case requires remand for that purpose. Since we find the minor's first contention has merit, we shall reverse the juvenile court's orders sustaining the forgery charge and committing the minor to CYA. In light of the reversal, the minor's remaining contentions are moot.
