DIVISION THREE

In re FRANK S., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law.

THE PEOPLE, G048682 Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. DL044709) v. OPINION FRANK S.,

Defendant and Appellant.

Appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court of Orange County, Gregory W. Jones, Judge. Affirmed. Heather L. Beugen, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance by Plaintiff and Respondent.

Code, § 243.2). A pretrial report by the probation officer reported minor had suffered eight school suspensions for fighting, possession of marijuana, attendance issues, and not following directions. In June 2013, minor admitted the violations and the juvenile court declared him a ward of the court. The court placed minor on probation on various terms and conditions, including that he “obey all school regulations and rules[]” and that he “not . . . use, possess or be under the influence of any dangerous drugs, alcohol or controlled substances . . . .” Minor’s counsel objected to the condition concerning school rules, complaining it was “extremely overbroad [and] could potentially get him into a situation where probation violations are filed against him” for “an undefined class of school rules . . . .” Counsel suggested minor “could be brought back on a probation violation for having soda in his classroom because of the fact that that could potentially be a school
