In re Omar C.
Omar C. was a dependent of the juvenile court when he was charged with two separate felonies. As part of a plea agreement, Omar admitted to the felonies in exchange for deferred entry of judgment which would put him in the care of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). The plea agreement was approved by a referee sitting as a temporary judge. Subsequently, a judge of the juvenile court ordered a rehearing of the referee’s orders and placed Omar into the custody of the probation department instead. Because the referee’s orders were not subject to rehearing, we reverse and remand to reinstate the referee’s dispositional orders.
