In re Bryan C.
Bryan C. (appellant) appeals from a judgment declaring him a ward of the juvenile court and placing him on probation with home supervision after he pled no contest to an allegation he had carried a concealed firearm on his person. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 602; Pen. Code, § 25400, subd. (a)(2); Cal. Rules of Ct., rule 5.778(e).)[1] He contends the case must be remanded for a hearing on his suitability for deferred entry of judgment (DEJ) under section 790 et seq., and further argues the failure to follow the statutory procedures for determining his suitability deprived him of due process of law. The Attorney General agrees the case must be remanded so the court can comply with the statutory requirements for determining suitability. We remand the case for this purpose.
