In re Dante C. CA2/7
Opinion
Opinion
INTRODUCTION
After finding Dante C. committed assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury and robbery, the juvenile court declared Dante a ward of the court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 and placed him on home probation for six months. Dante appeals from the court’s jurisdiction findings and disposition order, arguing substantial evidence did not support the findings on either count. Dante also contends his counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to object when the People introduced a message sent on a social media networking service from Dante’s brother to the victim. We conclude that substantial evidence supported each of the findings and that Dante has not shown his counsel provided ineffective assistance. Dante also argues, the People concede, and we agree that— because the juvenile court placed Dante on home probation—the court erred in setting a maximum term of confinement of four years. Therefore, we strike from the disposition order the term of confinement and affirm the jurisdiction findings and the order as modified.
