STATE OF WASHINGTON, Appellant, v. S.C.C., DOB Respondent.

PER CURIAM.

UNPUBLISHED OPINION

PER CURIAM.

The State appeals an order sealing S.C.C.'s records following his completion of a deferred disposition and the dismissal of his conviction for possession of marijuana. The State contends "[t]he trial court violated RCW 13.40.127 and RCW 13.50.260 by sealing the Respondent's juvenile criminal case file upon successful completion of a deferred disposition before the Respondent's eighteenth birthday." Appellant's brief at 1. This contention is controlled by our recent decision in State v. H.Z.-B., __ Wn.App. __, __ P.3d __ (2017) (holding that statutes pertaining to record sealing and deferred dispositions indicate that juvenile record should be sealed when case is dismissed and do not prohibit sealing until juvenile's eighteenth birthday).¹

1 S.C.C.'s motion to enlarge the time to file a motion to modify this court's ruling that the challenged order is appealable as a matter of right is both unpersuasive and, in light of H.Z.-B.. moot.

Affirmed.
