5 participant in the crime, that the defendant's participation was rela-
6 tively minor although not so minor as to constitute a defense to the
7 prosecution, or (iii) possible deficiencies in proof of the crime, or
8 (iv) where the juvenile offender has no previous adjudications of having
9 committed a designated felony act, as defined in subdivision eight of
10 section 301.2 of the family court act, regardless of the age of the
