In re E.G. CA2/6
E.G. challenges a disposition order committing him to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) (Welf. & Inst. Code, §§ 731, subd. (a)(4), 734) after he stabbed a high school student with a knife. (Pen. Code, §§ 245, subd. (a)(4), 12022, subd. (b)(1)). We reverse the commitment order and remand for a new disposition hearing because no findings were made that a less restrictive placement would be inappropriate or ineffective, and substantial evidence does not support the finding that appellant would probably benefit from a DJJ commitment. (§ 734; In re Carlos J. (2018) 22 Cal.App.5th 1, 5.)
