(2017) 16 Cal.App.5th 1053 , 224 Cal.Rptr.3d 808 , review granted February 14, 2018, S245874, minor W.R. appealed from the San Francisco Superior Court's order denying his motion to seal certain records pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code 1 section 786. We concluded the juvenile court should have sealed the records in a case dismissed as part of a plea bargain with another case; had the discretion under section 786, subdivision (e)(1) to seal the records pertaining to another petition in which the allegations were not sustained following an adjudication hearing; but did not have the discretion under section 786, subdivisions (b) or (e)(1) to seal the records pertaining to a petition filed subsequent to the last petition for which the minor was placed on probation.
