In re Mohammed N.
This is the second appeal in this case. In the first appeal, court upheld the juvenile court's decision to commit appellant to the California Youth Authority (CYA), but remanded the matter for the court to exercise its discretion in setting appellant's maximum term of confinement pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 731, subdivision (b) (hereafter section 731(b).) In this appeal, appellant contends the court's postremand order setting the maximum term of confinement at six years two months was an abuse of discretion, and his counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to raise issues regarding the court's determination of the maximum term of confinement. In a related petition for habeas corpus, appellant again asserts that his defense counsel was ineffective for failing to raise these identical issues.
