In re S.C. CA4/3
S.C. (defendant) was a minor when the instant case commenced. Now an adult, he appeals from a juvenile court order finding he did not satisfactorily complete juvenile probation. He argues the court’s error thereby denied him the benefits of Welfare and Institutions Code section 786, which would have allowed the juvenile wardship petition against him to be dismissed. It is true defendant was denied the benefits of section 786, but it was due to his pleading guilty as an adult to felony burglary, not due to any court error. The juvenile court correctly determined defendant’s guilty plea was a “conviction” for purposes of section 786 and that defendant therefore did not satisfactorily complete juvenile probation. Accordingly we affirm.
