In re Hector G.
On May 10, 2008, Hector G. unlawfully drove a car without the owner's permission and with the intent to deprive her of possession of the car. He also drove the car on a public highway while he was under the influence of alcohol. On May 27 he entered a negotiated admission to felony unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle (Veh. Code, 10851, subd. (a)) and misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol (Veh. Code, 23152, subd. (a)) with a Harvey waiver (People v. Harvey (1979) 25 Cal.3d 754). On June 10 the court continued him as a ward under the supervision of the probation officer and committed him to Camp Barrett. Hector appeals, contending the court erred by ordering a commitment longer than 365 days, by failing to set a proper maximum period of confinement and by failing to give him credit for time served. The People concede the case should be remanded for the court to clarify the custody order, set a proper maximum period of confinement and award credits. Court agree.
