In re Mevlin W.
Appellant appeals from a dispositional order of the San Mateo CountyJuvenile Court (San Mateo court) committing him to the California Department of the Youth Authority (CYA) for a maximum confinement period of six years six months. He contends that the juvenile court abused its discretion in committing him to the CYA because the evidence does not establish that a CYA commitment would benefit him, or that less restrictive alternatives were inappropriate or unavailable. Appellant also claims that his dispositional hearing should not have taken place before the San Mateo court because his case had been erroneously transferred to the San Mateo court by the Solano County Juvenile Court (Solano court), and that it was further error for the San Mateo court to refuse to transfer the case back to the Solano court. Court affirm.
