1Opinion of the CourtWright, J.
This case challenges the regularity of proceedings conducted under RCW 13.04.120 relating to the declination of jurisdiction by the juvenile court. Appellant challenges the constitutionality of RCW 13.04.120 on the basis that no standards are enunciated in the statute to serve as guidelines to the court. Appellant also challenges the admission of certain evidence at the hearing. We hold that RCW 13.04.120 is constitutional. We also hold that the testimony, reports and exhibits offered into evidence are admissible in this type of hearing.
