1Opinion of the Court
HARRIS, Associate Judge:
Appellant, a 17-year-old juvenile, was found guilty of assaulting a 12-year-old boy. D.C.Code 1973, § 22-504. Appellant contends that the judge who presided over the factfinding hearing should not have done so, since that judge had presided over a detention hearing in a separate case involving appellant three weeks earlier. Appellant argues that he thus was denied both a statutory right under D.C.Code 1973, § 16 — 2312(j), and a due process right under the Fifth Amendment. We affirm.
*57I
The incident giving rise to the assault charge occurred on September 29, 1973.…
