In re Rachel L.
this dependency case (Welf. & Inst. Code, 300),[1]two of the subject minor children have each filed an appeal from the judgment. Their trial court appointed attorney has also filed an appeal from the judgment, as have the parents of the minors. These several appeals have been consolidated under case number B192601. All appellants contend the dependency court erred in not holding a Marsden hearing (People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118) when one of the minor children requested new appointed counsel. There are also challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence to support the jurisdiction and dependency findings, and mother contends the parents due process rights were violated in several ways during court hearings. Mother also asserts a failure to comply with the requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (25 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.). Court affirmed.
