In re A.W.
Appellants G.W. (father) and C.W. (mother) (collectively, parents) challenge the juvenile courts ruling summarily denying their petition to modify a court order, filed under Welfare and Institutions Code section 388.[1] The parents argue[2]the court abused its discretion when it summarily denied the petition without a hearing because the petition established a prima facie case that new evidence required a modification of the jurisdiction and disposition orders and that the modification would be in the best interest of their daughter, A.W.(child). As discussed below, Court conclude that the juvenile court did not abuse its discretion when it summarily denied the petition.
