In re Christina L.
On July 26, 2006, following a contested jurisdiction hearing, the juvenile court found true an allegation that appellant Christina L., a minor at the time of that hearing, committed second degree robbery (Pen. Code, SS 211; 212.5, subd. (c)). Following the subsequent disposition hearing on August 30, 2006, the court adjudged appellant a ward of the court and placed her on probation in the custody of her mother. As a condition of probation, the court directed appellant as follows: "If you have graduated from school or are eighteen years of age, you must seek and maintain at least 32 hour[s] a week of gainful employment." Court refer to this condition of probation as the employment condition.
On appeal, appellant contends (1) the evidence was insufficient to support her adjudication of robbery; (2) the employment condition was invalid; and (3) if appellant's challenge to the employment condition is deemed waived by the failure to object to that condition, appellant was denied her constitutional right to the effective assistance of counsel. Court modify the employment condition and otherwise affirm the judgment.
