02-2502 In the Interest of Terry T.: State v. Terry T.

Listen to this article

The juvenile court’s order of May 6, 2002, placing Terry T. in a secure correctional facility is an “original dispositional order” since it is the first order based on the juvenile court’s analysis of the suitability of placing Terry T. in a secure correctional facility. The juvenile court’s order also extended placement from the previous expiration date of Aug. 27, 2002, to the juvenile’s eighteenth birthday on May 22, 2003. Since Terry T. was seventeen years of age on Aug. 27, 2002, when the previous court order expired and Wis. Stat. sec. 938.355(4) (1999-2000) prohibits the extension of an “original dispositional order” – placing a juvenile in a secure correctional facility – that expires after the juvenile is 17 years of age, we reverse that portion of the order extending placement until May 22, 2003.
