In re L.G.
Appellant S.G. (father) appeals from the juvenile court’s jurisdiction and disposition orders adjudging father’s three minor children with C.B. (mother) to be dependents of the court and removing them from parental custody. Father challenges only one of the jurisdictional findings, namely the allegation pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (b), regarding storage of his medical marihuana.[1] Father contends there is no substantial evidence supporting the determination he improperly stored his medical marijuana in a manner accessible to the children. Father also challenges that portion of the dispositional orders directing him to participate in random drug testing.
Father’s arguments are unavailing. Father’s jurisdictional challenge is nonjusticiable because the court declared the three children dependents of the court based on multiple findings concerning both mother’s and father’s conduct, such that jurisdiction over the children would remain proper even without the challenged allegations. Further, we find no exceptional circumstances warrant our discretionary review. Father forfeited his challenge to the dispositional order by expressly consenting to participate in drug testing. We therefore affirm.
