In re Harold M.
Following a contested hearing, the juvenile court sustained a two count petition alleging that 17 year old Harold M. had been in possession of methamphetamine and a device for smoking a controlled substance (Welf. & Inst. Code, 602; Health & Saf. Code, 11377, subd. (a), 11364, subd. (a)), and ordered him suitably placed (with a term of confinement not to exceed three years (for the drug), two months (for the device)) with probation conditions. Harold appeals, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence and a term of probation, and in his concurrently considered petition for a writ of habeas corpus claims ineffective assistance of counsel with regard to the smoking device. Court grant the petition, reverse in part, modify the order and, as modified, affirm.
