ORDER MODIFYING OPINION 
THE COURT: 
On the court’s own motion, the opinion herein, filed on July 2, 2009, appearing at 46 
Cal.4th 1007, is modified as follows: 
The second sentence of the final paragraph on page 1020 is modified to read:   
Except for the decision here under review, all California Court of Appeal panels to 
address the issue in a published opinion, both before and after Apprendi, have squarely 
held that the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments permit the use of prior juvenile 
adjudications to enhance the sentences for subsequent adult offenses, even though there is 
no right to a jury trial in juvenile proceedings.   
 
This modification does not affect the judgment.
