In re R.R.
R.R. and his sister N.R. (Minors) appeal from orders of the Alameda County juvenile court entered after the six-month review hearing in their juvenile dependency case. (See Welf. & Inst. Code, 366.21, subd. (e).)[1] Minors object to two aspects of the orders(1) the juvenile courts demand that Minors return from their current placement in Russia to Alameda County for further evaluation (Transportation Order) and (2) the juvenile courts reservation of jurisdiction (Order Reserving Jurisdiction) to determine whether reunification services for H.R. (Father) shall be deemed to commence only upon Minors return from Russia. (See generally Welf. & Inst. Code, 361.5.) Because we conclude that Minors challenges to the orders are not currently fit for judicial decision and are therefore unripe, we will affirm the orders without prejudice to Minors right to raise their challenges should these issues become ripe in the future.
Father cross-appeals from the juvenile courts findings that he received reasonable reunification services, that the return of Minors would create a substantial risk of harm to them, and that Minors current out of home placement is necessary and appropriate. Court conclude that these findings are supported by substantial evidence and affirm them.
