California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from In re Jermaine G., B196444 (Cal. App. 5/23/2008), B196444 (Cal. App. 2008):
The minor contends that denial of funds for the supplemental examination constituted an abuse of discretion. (People v. Guerra (2006) 37 Cal.4th 1067, 1085 [orders regarding ancillary services reviewed for abuse of discretion].) He further asserts that this abuse deprived him of the right to effective representation of counsel at the disposition hearing. We disagree.
