In re Interest of Josue G.

by
The Supreme Court vacated the order of the separate juvenile court of Douglas County extending a juvenile’s term of probation and imposing additional community service, holding that the court did not follow applicable statutory procedures and thereby exceeded its statutory authority.The State moved to revoke probation after the juvenile, who was on probation pursuant to a previous adjudication, allegedly committed a new offense. When the juvenile entered a denial to the new charge, however, the State withdrew its motion. The juvenile court nonetheless extended the term of probation and imposed additional community service. The Supreme Court vacated the order and remanded the cause for further proceedings, holding that the juvenile court exceeded its statutory authority in changing the terms of the juvenile’s probation.
