D.I. v. Super. Ct.
D.I. is the father of J.I., one of four children who were removed from their mothers custody in December 2004, due to neglect and mothers mental health problems. Because of regular visits and a beneficial parent-child relationship, the original permanent plan was one of guardianship. In 2008, father filed a petition to modify the prior court order (Welf. & Inst. Code,[1] 388, hereafter the 388 petition) to resume reunification efforts with J.I. In response, the acting guardians filed a competing 388 petition, seeking to change the permanent plan from one of guardianship to one of adoption. The Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) agreed with the fathers 388 petition, but the juvenile court denied his petition and granted the guardians petition, setting a hearing to select and implement a permanent plan of adoption. ( 366.26.)
Father seeks review of the juvenile courts orders denying his petition and setting the permanent plan hearing by this petition for extraordinary relief. Court deny the petition.
