In re Matthew D.
Joseph C., father of juvenile dependent Matthew D., appeals from orders entered at the 12 month permanency hearing, after the court found a return of Matthew to his custody would create a substantial risk of detriment to the minor. (Welf. & Inst. Code, 366.21, subd. (f).)[1] Joseph argues the court's finding of detriment is not supported by substantial evidence. The San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency (Agency) urges us to find this appeal moot as, subsequent to the hearing, Matthew was placed with Joseph. Alternatively, the Agency contends the court's finding of detriment is amply supported in the record and the orders should be affirmed.As Corut explain, Corut decline to dismiss Joseph's appeal, and Court affirm the orders made at the 12 month review hearing, as Joseph has waived his appellate challenges.
