______________________________
After a petition was sustained in juvenile court, and Steven A. ordered to camp placement, Steven A. appealed the judgment, asserting that he had been awarded insufficient pre-disposition custody credits. While the People concede that the award of custody credits was in error, they dispute appellant’s calculation. Finding the record supports appellant’s calculation, we order the disposition modified to reflect total pre- disposition custody credits of 192 days, and otherwise affirm.
FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND The facts concerning the petition filed against Steven A. are not in dispute. However, the prior adjudications are relevant to our determination, and we summarize them briefly. A Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition was filed on February 7, 2013, asserting that appellant had violated Penal Code sections 626.9, subd. (b), 29610, (Counts One and Two, felonies), and Penal Code section 29650, (Count Three, a misdemeanor). Appellant was ordered detained on February 8, 2013, and the court found Count One true on March 4, 2013. The court dismissed the remaining counts, and ordered appellant placed in camp, with a maximum confinement term of five years and 28 days of pre-disposition custody credits. A second petition was filed on April 28, 2015, alleging a violation of Penal Code section 459, a felony. Appellant was released on electronic monitoring, but was found in violation of that program and detained on May 11, 2015. After the adjudication hearing, the court ordered appellant to camp placement with a maximum term of confinement of five years and eight months, aggregating the terms imposed for the initial petition and the new petition; the court awarded 38 days of pre-disposition custody credits. Steven appealed the judgment. DISCUSSION Steven argues, and the People concede, that he is entitled to credits for time spent in custody relating to both offenses. We agree. (In re Stephon L. (2010) 181 Cal.App.4th 1227, 1231-1233 [credit for all custody must be given where multiple petitions are aggregated for term of physical confinement]; In re Emilio C. (2004) 116 Cal.App.4th 2
