United States Eighth Circuit

An order committing defendant to official detention until the age of twenty-one, issued after defendant was adjudicated a juvenile delinquent for committing an assault with a dangerous weapon in Indian Country, is affirmed where, given the broad discretion afforded the district courts in the disposition of juvenile adjudications and the plain error standard applicable to certain of defendant's objections, the period of official detention ordered in this case was not contrary to law or plainly unreasonable.
