OPINION

GOMES, J.

The issue on appeal is whether a court has discretion to order a juvenile disposition after a 15-year-old minor with no known prior criminal history pleads guilty to second degree robbery and admits personal firearm use on a "discretionary direct file" for which Proposition 21 authorizes, but does not mandate, a criminal trial instead of a juvenile hearing.1
