California Court of Appeal

In a minor's appeal of the juvenile court's judgment terminating his probation, dismissing the wardship petition and converting his restitution order to a civil judgment, the judgment is affirmed where: 1) the challenged order is a judgment within the meaning of Welfare and Institutions Code section 800(a), because the juvenile court rendered a final determination of the rights of the parties in the wardship proceeding; 2) even if a juvenile court has not adjudged a minor a ward of the court, it can convert an unfulfilled restitution order to a civil judgment when it terminates a minor's deferred entry of judgment probation and dismisses the wardship petition.
