In re Damon C‪.‬

[16 Cal3d Page 495] Damon C. appeals from orders of the juvenile court continuing him as a ward of that court and placing him in the custody of the Youth Authority. Damon contends inter alia that the juvenile court judge was insufficiently informed on application for rehearing after an advisory finding by a referee (see In re Edgar M. (1975) 14 Cal. 3d 727, 736 [122 Cal. Rptr. 574, 537 P.2d 406]) to reach an independent judgment that charged offenses warranted a finding of the continuing jurisdiction of the juvenile court. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 602.)1 We conclude that Damon's contention is meritorious and reverse the orders complained of. We do not reach Damon's other contentions.
