_________________________
Minor K.G. appeals the order under Welfare and Institutions Code section 777,[1] committing him to the custody of the California Youth Authority (CYA) based on his admitted violation of the terms and conditions of the juvenile court's previous Camp Community Placement order. K.G. was committed to the CYA for a maximum term of confinement not to exceed 13 years 8 months.

On March 15, 2005, the juvenile court committed him to CYA for a maximum term of 15 years, 8 months, with credit for 502 days of predisposition credit.
On April 12, 2005, the juvenile court granted a motion to reduce K.G.'s CYA term to13 years, 8 months. However, the juvenile court denied a request to return him to the camp program rather than send him to CYA.
