The People of the State of Colorado v. S.x.g., Juvenile-Appellee

Summary

The court dismissed the prosecution’s interlocutory appeal because the district court had not reviewed and adopted the juvenile magistrate’s suppression order, a prerequisite to appellate jurisdiction. The court held that the district court had authority to review the interlocutory suppression order and that the magistrate rules could not be construed to defeat the statutory right to seek such review. The court therefore did not reach the merits of the Miranda-related suppression ruling.
