In re K.L. CA2/6
K.L. appeals from the April 7, 2022 order of the juvenile court terminating his placement home on probation and ordering him placed at camp for a maximum confinement period of 3 years 10 months. He contends the juvenile court erred because it had already dismissed the Welfare & Institutions Code, section 602 petition then pending against him and there was no pending probation violation petition. (§777.) K.L. further contends the maximum confinement period set by the juvenile court violates section 730, subdivision (a)(2) because it exceeds a three-year commitment. Respondent correctly concedes both errors. Because there was no pending section 777 petition and the juvenile court dismissed the pending section 602 petition, there was no basis for the April 7, 2022 camp placement order. The order also sets an excessive maximum confinement period. Accordingly, we reverse the order dated April 7, 2022.
