THE PEOPLE,
                                                                         E059107

         Defendant and Appellant.


         APPEAL from the Superior Court of Riverside County. Walter H. Kubelun,

       On June 21, 2013, defendant B.L. (minor) admitted an allegation in a second

petition subsequent that he attempted criminal threats against a judge presiding over one

of his prior cases (¶ 1 – Pen. Code § 664/422).1 Pursuant to a negotiated disposition, the

juvenile court ordered minor into an out-of-state placement and determined his maximum

period of confinement as six years two months. The juvenile court neglected to compute

an updated calculation of minor’s custody credits. On appeal, minor contends the court

erred in its determination of his maximum period of confinement and that an updated

calculation of custody credits should have been made. The People agree with minor’s

contentions. We shall direct the juvenile court to issue a corrected dispositional minute

order reflecting the correct maximum period of minor’s confinement and custody credits.

In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed.

                       FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

       On October 24, 2012, the People filed a Welfare and Institutions Code section 602

petition alleging minor was in receipt of a stolen digital camera (¶ 1 -- § 496, subd. (a)),

engaged in second degree burglary (¶ 2 -- § 459), and brandished a deadly weapon (¶ 3 --

§ 417, subd. (a)). Minor was taken into custody on a warrant and booked on January 16,

2013. Minor was detained in juvenile hall.

       On February 4, 2013, minor admitted the paragraph two allegation. The juvenile

court found minor a ward of the court, placed him on probation, and ordered him placed

in a suitable home. Paragraphs 1 and 3 were dismissed. Minor was placed with Boys

       1   All further statutory references are to the Penal Code unless otherwise indicated.

Republic on February 19, 2013, but left the placement the next day. On February 21,

2013, a Welfare and Institutions Code section 777 petition alleging minor had violated a

condition of his probation was filed. A warrant for minor’s arrest issued on February 25,

2013.

        On April 29, 2013, police interviewed minor regarding an incident whereby he

was alleged to have participated in the beating and robbery of a community college

student; the victim identified minor as one of the perpetrators. Police released minor to

mother after minor gave a false name in front of mother; mother did not correct minor’s

relation of a false name or inform officers there was a warrant for minor’s arrest. Police

arrested minor on May 22, 2013. On May 24, 2013, minor admitted a violation of his

probation. Minor was ordered detained in juvenile hall.

        In an interview with probation on May 31, 2013, minor stated he was extremely

angry at the judge presiding over his previous disposition: “‘He fucked me over. If I see

him on the street I’ll murder him.’” On June 7, 2013, a petition subsequent was filed

alleging minor stole property (a wallet and iPhone) by means of force or fear (¶ 1 -- §

211). On June 10, 2013, defendant admitted the allegation.

        On June 21, 2013, a second petition subsequent was filed alleging minor had

committed attempted criminal threats (¶ 1 -- § 664/422) and threatened the life of a judge

(¶ 2 -- § 76). On June 27, 2013, pursuant to a negotiated disposition, minor admitted the

paragraph 1 allegation and the paragraph 2 allegation was dismissed. The juvenile court

determined minor’s maximum period of confinement as six years two months and

ordered him placed in a suitable home or facility.

                                      DISCUSSION

   A. Maximum Period of Confinement.

       Defendant contends the juvenile court erred in determining his maximum period

of confinement as six years two months; he maintains it should have been only six years.

The People concur. We agree.

       “If the minor is removed from the physical custody of his or her parent or guardian

as the result of an order of wardship made pursuant to Section 602, the order shall specify

that the minor may not be held in physical confinement for a period in excess of the

maximum term of imprisonment which could be imposed upon an adult convicted of the

offense or offenses which brought or continued the minor under the jurisdiction of the

juvenile court.” (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 726, subd. (d).)

       “The principal term shall consist of the greatest term of imprisonment imposed by

the court for any of the crimes, including any term imposed for applicable specific

enhancements. The subordinate term for each consecutive offense shall consist of one-

third of the middle term of imprisonment prescribed for each other felony conviction for

which a consecutive term of imprisonment is imposed, and shall include one-third of the

term imposed for any specific enhancements applicable to those subordinate offenses.”

(§ 1170.1, subd. (a); In re David H. (2003) 106 Cal.App.4th 1131, 1133-1134.)

       Here, defendant admitted allegations of second degree burglary (initial petition ¶ 2

- § 459), robbery (petition subsequent ¶ 1 -- § 211), and attempted criminal threats

(second petition subsequent ¶ 1 -- §§ 664/422). According to the formula prescribed

above, the maximum period of confinement to which minor could be sentenced would be

                                             4
six years consisting of the following: five years for the robbery (§ 213, subd. (a)(2));

eight months, one-third the prescribed midterm of two years, for the felony second degree

burglary (§§ 461, subd. (b), 1170, subd. (h)); and four months, one-third the prescribed

term of 12 months for the felony attempted criminal threats (§§ 18, 664, subd. (b)/422,

subd. (a)). Thus, we shall direct the superior court to issue a corrected dispositional

minute order setting minor’s maximum confinement as six years.

   B. Presentence Custody Credits.

       Minor contends the court erred in awarding him only 55 days of presentence

credits when he was entitled to 73 days. The People concur. We agree.

       “A juvenile is entitled to credit against his maximum period of physical

confinement for any time he spends in actual custody prior to disposition. [Citation.] . . .

The California Supreme Court has concluded that when a juvenile court elects to

aggregate a minor’s period of physical confinement on multiple petitions . . . the court

must also aggregate the predisposition custody credits attributable to those multiple

petitions. [Citation.]’ [Citation.]” (In re Stephon L. (2010) 181 Cal.App.4th 1227, 1231-

1232; In re Emilio C. (2004) 116 Cal.App.4th 1058, 1067.) “It is the juvenile court’s

duty to calculate the number of days earned, and the court may not delegate that duty.

[Citations.]” (Emilio C., supra, at p. 1067.)

       Minor was initially arrested on January 16, 2013, and detained until February 20,

2013, when he left his placement, for a total of 36 days. He was arrested on May 22,

2013, and detained until his dispositional hearing on June 27, 2013, an additional 37

days. Thus, minor spent a total of 73 days in custody prior to the final dispositional

                                                5
order. Therefore, we shall direct the juvenile court to correct the dispositional minute

order to reflect 73 days of presentence credits.

                                      DISPOSITION

       The juvenile court is directed to correct the dispositional minute order dated June

27, 2013, to accurately reflect the maximum period of minor’s confinement, six years,

and presentence credits in the amount of 73 days and forward a corrected copy to the

appropriate authorities. In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed.
