In re Frankie J

In In re Frankie J. (1988) 198 Cal. App. 3d 1149, a minor was committed to a detention facility and sentenced to probation, subject to "'the usual terms and conditions.'" The juvenile court orally pronounced some specific probation conditions. (Ibid.) Upon his release from the detention facility, the minor signed a preprinted form entitled "'Terms and Conditions of Probation,'" which included conditions the juvenile court both had and had not orally pronounced. (Ibid.) The minor violated one of the conditions included only in the written form, and the court revoked his probation. (Id. at p. 1153.) The minor appealed, arguing the additional conditions were invalid because they were not orally pronounced by the juvenile court. (Id. at pp. 1154-1155.) This court held the juvenile court was not required to orally pronounce probation conditions in order for them to be valid, so long as the minor was aware of them. (Id. at pp. 1154-1155.)
