In re K.W.
S.L. (appellant), the mother of K.W. (the minor), appeals from the juvenile courts order terminating her parental rights. (Welf. & Inst. Code, 366.26, 395.) Appellant contends the juvenile court violated her right to due process by (1) appointing a guardian ad litem for her, and (2) failing to hold a Marsden[2]hearing after she advised the court she had serious concerns with her appointed counsel. Respondent, Yolo County Department of Employment and Social Services (the department), agrees with appellant that the appointment of a guardian ad litem was erroneous but argues the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. The department also asserts appellant abandoned her request for substitute counsel. Agreeing with the department on both points, Court affirm the order terminating parental rights.
