In re F.G. CA5
Appellant F.G., a minor, appeals from the juvenile court’s dispositional order declaring him a ward of the court. Following a contested hearing on a petition filed under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602, appellant was found to have committed the crimes of theft and unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a)) and knowingly obtaining, concealing, selling or withholding from the owner, a vehicle known to be stolen (Pen. Code, § 496d(a)). Appellant alleges several alternative forms of error, which initially turn on whether appellant was found to have stolen a vehicle or unlawfully driven a vehicle under section 10851. Depending on the outcome of that position, appellant contends either that the finding he obtained a stolen vehicle must be dismissed and his theft offense reduced to a misdemeanor or that both of his offenses must be reduced to misdemeanors under Proposition 47. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm.
