In the Interest of K. F.

Miller, Chief Judge.

K. F. appeals the denial of his motion for early release from a youth development center, arguing that (i) the juvenile court judge should have recused himself after ruling on the motion without a hearing; and (ii) the juvenile court erred in relying on youth status reports contained in the court’s file and not presented by the State in opposition to the motion. Given that the juvenile court lacked jurisdiction to modify its commitment order pursuant to OCGA § 15-11-40 (b), its denial of K. F.’s motion for early release was not error. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
