California Court of Appeal

The juvenile court does not have discretion to set a maximum term of physical confinement when the court commits the minor to the custody of his parents subject to probationary supervision, rather than to the custody of the former CYA. A juvenile ward in his parents' custody is not physically confined and thus, there is no need to set a maximum term.
