ALL YOUTH DETAINED IN JUVENILE HALLS & CAMPS IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY v. JUVENILE DIVISION
Order to show cause issued; returnable in Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, Division One
The petition for writ of mandate is transferred to the Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, with directions to issue an order to show cause returnable before the Los Angeles County Superior Court, addressing whether juveniles detained in Los Angeles County juvenile facilities are being denied due process under the Fourteenth Amendment by being held in conditions that could subject them to contracting the COVID-19 virus and, if so, what remedies can be lawfully ordered. The order to show cause is to be expedited by the Superior Court, and any hearings should be scheduled as soon as practicable. The People of the State of California and the County of Los Angeles are deemed the real parties in interest.
