In re M.J. CA4/14
Appellant M.J. (the minor) was placed on probation after he admitted allegations of misdemeanor sexual battery (Pen. Code, § 243.4, subd. (e)(1)) and misdemeanor battery against a person with whom the minor is in a dating relationship (§ 243, subd. (e)(1)). On appeal, he challenges three probation conditions on constitutional grounds. He also contends that his defense counsel was prejudicially deficient for failing to object to the probation conditions at the time of their imposition. We conclude that remand is required for two of the probation conditions, as one is an impermissible delegation of judicial authority and the other one is unclear because the written order conflicts with the juvenile court’s oral pronouncement. Accordingly, we reverse and remand with directions.
