In re J.A. CA4/2

I.

INTRODUCTION

J.A. (minor) appeals from the juvenile court’s dispositional orders. He contends

(1) the probation condition prohibiting him from “possessing or acting like he possesses a

deadly weapon” is unconstitutionally vague or overbroad; (2) the 15-percent

administrative processing fee requiring him to pay restitution to the victim should be

stricken pursuant to Assembly Bill No. 177; and (3) the maximum term of confinement

should be stricken from the court’s order because he was not removed from parental

custody. We find probation condition 10 to be constitutional. However, we strike the 15-

percent administrative processing fee pursuant to Assembly Bill No. 177, as well as the

court’s maximum term of confinement finding because minor was placed on home

probation. Agreeing with him in part, we will modify the judgment and direct the

juvenile court to amend the written conditions of probation and the dispositional order.
