In re Danny L. CA4/1
In this juvenile delinquency proceeding, Danny L. (the Minor) stipulates to commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). The juvenile court imposed a number of conditions of probation pending the Minor’s actual commitment to DJJ. The commitment has taken place. The Minor contends the juvenile court does not have jurisdiction to impose probation conditions on a minor who has been committed to DJJ. The Attorney General correctly concedes the court lacks jurisdiction to impose the conditions under the circumstances of this case. The parties agree the conditions must be stricken. We also agree.
The Minor admitted one count of gross vehicular manslaughter (Pen. Code, § 191.5, subd.(a)) and one count of driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury (Veh. Code, § 23558, subd. (a)).
At the disposition hearing, the court declared the Minor to be a ward of the court and committed the Minor to DJJ for a term of eight years four months.
