In the Matter of P.Q.M., 232 N.C. App. 419 (2014)
Held:
Affirmed
The trial court did not abuse its discretion by declining to impose a Level 2 disposition based upon written findings of extraordinary needs under G.S. 7B-2508(e). Because the juvenile had a “medium” delinquency history level and was adjudicated delinquent for a “violent” offense, the disposition chart prescribed a Level 3 disposition. The record indicated the trial court made a reasoned decision after hearing all the evidence presented at the disposition hearing and considering the juvenile’s rehabilitation and treatment needs.
