INTRODUCTION

After an adjudication hearing, the juvenile court sustained a Welfare and

Institutions Code section 602 petition against Luis V. (hereinafter the minor) charging

him with assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1); count 1),

misdemeanor battery against a police officer (§ 243, subd. (b); count 3), and

misdemeanor resisting or obstructing an officer in the performance of his duties (§ 148,

subd. (a)(1); count 4). The court also found true the allegation in count 1 was a serious

felony (§ 1192.7, subd. (c)(23)).2 The juvenile court declared the minor a ward of the

evidence to support a true finding of assault with a deadly weapon, (2) there was

insufficient evidence to support a true finding on the serious felony allegation,…
