In the Matter of J.L., 199 N.C. App. 605 (2009)
Held:
Reversed and Remanded
The trial court abused its discretion in denying the juvenile’s motion to continue and denying the juvenile the right to examine his DSS and mental health records, which the court deemed irrelevant after reviewing them “in camera.” The juvenile had an absolute right under G.S. 7B-2901(b) to access his own mental health and DSS records to prepare for the disposition hearing.
