v. (Super. Ct. No. DL041202)

ISRAEL M., OPINION

Defendant and Appellant.

Appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court of Orange County, Nick A. Dourbetas, Judge. Affirmed as modified. Reed Webb, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

INTRODUCTION

An amended petition charged Israel M., who was then 17 years old, with two counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence while intoxicated (Pen. Code, § 191.5, subd. (a)) and two counts of driving with a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or more causing bodily injury (Veh. Code, § 23153, subd. (b)). It also alleged he caused bodily injury or death to more than one victim (Veh. Code, § 23558) and personally inflicted great bodily injury (Pen. Code, § 12022.7, subd. (a)). Minor admitted all of the crimes and enhancements. At the disposition hearing the juvenile court declared minor to be a ward of the court (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 602)1 and committed him to the “care, custody and control of the Orange County probation officer [sic] for commitment to juvenile hall or appropriate facility for 1095 days . . . .” Minor challenges the determinate nature and the length of his commitment. We modify the disposition order to state a maximum term rather than a fixed term of confinement, and affirm the disposition order in all other respects.
