People v. Jesus R.

Respondent minor, Jesus R. (born August 8, 1984) (hereinafter J.R.), was adjudicated a delinquent and committed to the Department of Corrections, Juvenile Division (DOC), for an indeterminate period, not to exceed his twenty-first birthday. J.R. appeals from the trial court’s dispositional order committing him to the DOC, contending (1) the trial court erred when it committed him to the DOC until age 21; and (2) he is entitled to sentencing credit for 163 days served prior to his commitment to the DOC. We reverse the trial court’s dispositional order and remand with directions.
