In re J. B.

Carley, Chief Judge.

At a juvenile court hearing which had been set solely to determine appellant’s status as a deprived child, his counsel sought to interject the issue of delinquency. The asserted delinquent act was appellant’s murder of his mother. The juvenile court refused to consider the issue of appellant’s delinquency or to conduct a transfer hearing to determine whether appellant should be tried for the murder as an adult in the superior court. It is from these rulings of the juvenile court that appellant brings this direct appeal.
