In re S.K.
The juvenile court (1) sustained allegations that S.K. (appellant) committed a misdemeanor battery and (2) declared him a ward of the court. (Pen. Code, 243, subd. (d); Welf. & Inst. Code,[1] 602.) The juvenile court placed appellant on formal probation for a maximum of one year with conditions. On appeal, appellant contends that his Fourteenth Amendment and due process rights were violated when the juvenile court rescinded its informal probation order and ordered formal probation. Also, appellant claims that the juvenile court erred in imposing as a condition of probation that he refrain from associating with people who are known to use, possess or deal drugs. Court reverse the juvenile courts order rescinding informal probation, declaring appellant a ward and ordering formal probation and Court remand for further proceedings. Court also find that the probation condition is invalid.
