In Re Kenneth J.
People v. Kenneth J.
Opinion
Opinion
Richman, J.
Minor Kenneth J. appeals from the dispositional order of the juvenile court declaring him a ward and placing him on probation. This order was made after the court had conducted a jurisdictional hearing at which Kenneth had contested the allegations of criminal wrongdoing, and moved to suppress evidence obtained from a search by law enforcement authorities. At the conclusion of the jurisdictional hearing, the juvenile court denied the suppression motion and sustained the allegations that Kenneth had possessed an assault weapon (Pen. Code, § 12280, subd. (b)), ammunition for it (Pen. Code, § 12101, subd. (a)(1)), and had carried the weapon in public (Pen. Code, § 12031, subd. (a)(1)).
Kenneth’s primary contention is that the juvenile court erred in failing to hold a hearing to determine if he qualified for the deferred entry of judgment (DEJ) procedure specified in Welfare and Institutions Code section 790 et seq. Kenneth also contends that the dispositional order should be modified to reduce the restitution fine and administrative fees by $10. We conclude that neither contention has merit, and we affirm.
