In re E.B. CA2/3
The juvenile court sustained a petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 alleging that appellant E.B. resisted a peace officer. (Pen. Code, § 148, subd. (a)(1).) On appeal, E.B. does not challenge the merits of the adjudication but asks us independently to review the record of the in camera hearing on his Pitchess motion. (Pitchess v. Superior Court of Los Angeles County (1974) 11 Cal.3d 531 (Pitchess).) We have done so, and we conclude the trial court did not provide a sufficient record for meaningful review. Accordingly, we conditionally reverse the juvenile court’s true finding and remand to the trial court for a new Pitchess in camera hearing in which proper procedures are followed and an adequate record is made for review. (See People v. Wycoff (2008) 164 Cal.App.4th 410.)
