California Court of Appeal

Juvenile court's denial of defendant's motion to modify his commitment to the California Youth Authority based on the court's concern that it would lose jurisdiction over defendant is reversed. Under Welfare and Institutions Code section 607, the juvenile court retains jurisdiction over defendant until age 25 because he was committed to CYA for second degree robbery, a crime listed in section 607(b).
