In re Alexis M.
Appellant Albert M., father of Alexis M., appeals from an order terminating his parental rights, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26.[1] Alexis was taken into protective custody when her mother was arrested for a DUI with Alexis in the car, and she was ultimately detained because of neglect and domestic violence. At the time, appellant was in custody on drug charges. Appellant earlier had been ordered to have no contact with Alexis, her mother, and sibling because he had allegedly threatened to kill both Alexis mother and her sibling. Appellant waived his right to reunification services. His visitation remained contingent upon his jail status. After reunification services were terminated for Alexis mother, the trial court set the matter for a section 366.26 hearing. At the contested hearing on September 7, 2007, the court terminated appellants parental rights. This appeal ensued. Court appointed counsel to represent appellant in this court.
