What SCOMIS docket entries are made to reflect a juvenile case (S8) that was auto declined to superior court (S1), then remanded back to juvenile court (S8) after a conviction of a lesser charge in superior court?
The order remanding the criminal case to juvenile court should include language that dismisses the criminal (S1) case and directs that the initial juvenile (S8) case filing be reopened to accept action, i.e., sentencing, disposition.
On the Criminal (S1) case:
- Docket the order remanding the case to the juvenile department.
- Docket a note that the disposition will be entered on the Juvenile Offender (S8) case.
- Enter the dismissal on the Charge screen.
- Resolve and complete the case on the Basic screen.
On the Juvenile Offender (S8) case:
- Remove the Resolution and Completion field entries on the Basic screen.
- Docket the order remanding the case to the juvenile department.
- Docket the Amended Information, noting all charges that were included in the Criminal (S1) case and the result.
- Docket the Judgment and Sentence or Jury Verdict.
- Verify the PCN on the Charge Screen.
- Record the sentencing information on the Sentence screen.
- Resolve and complete the case on the Basic screen.
The important information for the Washington State Patrol is the information from whichever case contains the final disposition, whether it is the criminal or the juvenile offender case. That information includes the PCN, resolution, and sentencing information.
