Opinion

RUBIN, J.

Appellant J.W. appeals from the decision of the trial court rejecting his request to seal his juvenile records. He contends that the court erred by considering the seriousness of his offenses and abused its discretion by not finding him rehabilitated. Moreover, appellant argues that the application of section 781, subdivision (a) of the Welfare and Institutions Code violated his right to due process, in that the statute is unconstitutionally vague. We conclude that the court did not err in declining to seal the records of the appellant, and therefore affirm.
