Order dismissing petition
§ 751. Order dismissing petition. If the allegations of a petition under this article are not established, the court shall dismiss the petition. The court may in its discretion dismiss a petition under this article, in the interests of justice where attempts have been made to adjust the case as provided for in sections seven hundred thirty-five and seven hundred forty-two of this article and the probation service has exhausted its efforts to successfully adjust such case as a result of the petition's failure to provide reasonable assistance to the probation service.
If the allegations aren't established, the court dismisses. It may also dismiss in the interest of justice where adjustment was attempted (§§ 735, 742) and probation exhausted its efforts because the petitioner failed to help.
