An adjudication of juvenile delinquency under the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, Pub. L. No. 93-415, 101-102, 88 Stat. 1109 (1974) is not a conviction of a crime, but instead a determination of the status of the offender. A person who is a "juvenile delinquent" under the Act has therefore not been convicted of a crime. United States v. Brian N., 900 F.2d 218 (10th Cir. 1990); United States v. Frasquillo-Zomosa, 626 F.2d 99, 101 (9th Cir. 1980); United States v. Hill, 538 F.2d 1072, 1075 (4th Cir. 1976); United States v. King, 482 F.2d 454, 456 (6th Cir. 1973); Fagerstrom v. United States, 311 F.2d 717, 720 (8th Cir. 1963). An act of "juvenile delinquency" is a "violation of a law of the United States committed by a person prior to his [or her] eighteenth birthday which would have been a crime if committed by an adult." 18 U.S.C. 5031. An adjudication of juvenile delinquency is neither a felony nor a misdemeanor. United States v. Gonzalez-Cervantes, 668 F.2d 1073 (9th Cir. 1981).
