Opinion

Goldman, J.

DISCUSSION

Under section 875, subdivision (e)(1), at each review hearing the trial court has discretion to modify the ward’s baseline term of confinement “downward by a reduction of confinement time not to exceed six months.” (In re Tony R. (2023) 98 Cal.App.5th 395, 414 [order issued under section 875, subdivision (e), is reviewed for an abuse of discretion].) Here, the trial court reduced Steven’s baseline term of confinement by 60 days rather than the 6 months requested by Steven. The trial court considered the proper factors

2 and made a reasoned decision based on the record before it. (§ 875, subd. (e)(1)(A) [“[t]he court shall consider the recommendations of counsel, the probation department and any behavioral, educational, or other specialists having information relevant to the ward’s progress].) Accordingly, based on our independent review of the record, we have found no arguable issues.

DISPOSITION

The six-month review order issued on January 10, 2025, is affirmed.
