California Court of Appeal

Writ of prohibition is issued setting aside denial of petitioner's motion to preclude the use of physical restraints upon all minors who appear in juvenile court proceedings in the Lancaster Juvenile Delinquency Court as the use of physical restraints upon minors who so appear must be based on a showing that such restraints are necessary for each individual minor irrespective of the type of hearing or proceeding.
