California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. D.W. (In re D.W.), A153095 (Cal. App. 2018):

["Any order made by the court in the case of any person subject to its jurisdiction may at any time be changed, modified, or set aside, as the judge deems meet and proper, subject to such procedural requirements as are imposed by this article"]; id., 778; see People v. Penoli (1996) 46 Cal.App.4th 298, 308 [declining to hold a delegation of authority to probation officer improper where, inter alia, "defendant can seek judicial interventionby moving to modify the probation order, if nothing elseif and when the probation officer seeks to exercise the delegated authority"].)
