In re J.S. CA3
This appeal is from the juvenile court’s dispositional order committing now 19-year-old J.S. to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), for a maximum term of four years. Minor contends the juvenile court abused its discretion in committing him to DJJ. In addition, minor argues mandatory sex offender registration for a juvenile who is committed to the DJJ and adjudicated of violating Penal Code section 288, subdivision (b), violates (1) the prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment and (2) his equal protection and due process rights. Finally, minor contends he is entitled to further precommitment credits, and the People agree. Consequently, we remand the case to the juvenile court to reconsider and to recalculate minor’s credits, if necessary, but otherwise affirm the order.
