Appellant did not advise this court of any urgency in this appeal based on the abbreviated probationary period. 3 Section 725, subdivision (a) states as to a nonwardship probation: “The minor’s probation shall include the conditions required in Section 729.2 except in any case in which the court makes a finding and states on the record its reasons that any of those conditions would be inappropriate. If the offense involved the unlawful possession, use, or furnishing of a controlled substance, as defined in Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 11053) of Division 10 of the Health and Safety Code, a violation of subdivision (f) of Section 647 of the Penal Code, or a violation of Section 25662 of the Business and Professions Code, the minor’s probation shall include the conditions required by Section 729.10.” Section 729.2 sets forth three conditions: requiring the minor to attend school without unapproved absence, requiring the parents or guardian of the minor to participate in a counseling or education program with the minor, and imposing a curfew on the minor.
