In re Joseph L.
Petitioner, a minor, petitions for writ of habeas corpus on the ground that he has been unlawfully committed to the Contra Costa Boys' Ranch as a condition of the grant of deferred entry of judgment pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 790 et seq.
The petition for writ of habeas corpus is granted to the extent that the trial court is directed to determine whether grant of deferred entry of judgment is still appropriate without the authority to condition it on confinement, and pursuant to the plea agreement, permit petitioner to withdraw his plea if deferred entry of judgment is denied.
