SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION SIX

In re N.A., a Person Coming 2d Juv. No. B340222 Under the Juvenile Court Law. (Super. Ct. Nos. EL1091A, FJ57986) (Los Angeles County)

THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

N.A.,

Defendant and Appellant.

N.A. appeals a juvenile court probation condition prohibiting contact with active gang members. He contends the condition is unconstitutionally vague because it did not contain a knowledge requirement. We affirm. FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY On June 2, 2024, N.A. was declared a ward of the court after admitting to a felony violation of Penal Code section 245,

subdivision (a)(4), assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury.1 N.A. was placed on home probation. One month later, on July 12, 2024, police officers saw N.A. and another man running through a park that was a known “hang out” for gang members. They saw N.A. run into a nearby driveway and hide between two vehicles. The officers told N.A. to come out and N.A. was detained. A search of the area where N.A. was hiding revealed a semi-automatic firearm hidden in the front grill of a nearby vehicle. Following this incident, a Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition was filed alleging N.A. carried a loaded firearm in violation of section 25850, subdivision (a), a felony. The People also filed a probation violation pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 777. N.A. admitted the new offense and that he violated the conditions of his probation by failing to obey all laws. The juvenile court placed N.A. in the Camp Community Placement Program with probation conditions. DISCUSSION As relevant here, the juvenile court ordered the following conditions as part of N.A.’s probation: “13 - You must not associate or communicate with anyone you know your parent, caregiver or probation officer does not approve. You must not have someone else contact them for you.” (Italics added.) “13A - Specifically no contact with (any active gang member).”
