California Court of Appeal

Sustaining of petition finding that defendant came under the provisions of Welfare and Institutions Code section 602.1 for possessing a concealable firearm and live ammunition is affirmed over claims that: 1) no substantial evidence supported the allegation that the shotgun shell taken from his sawed-off shotgun was "live"; and 2) based upon recent amendments to Welfare and Institutions Code sections 731.1 and 733, defendant's case should be remanded for new dispositional proceedings.
