In re J.R.
This is an appeal by E.E., the maternal grandmother of J.R., from the trial courts order terminating her Probate Code guardianship of J.R. The trial court terminated the guardianship after it denied a Welfare and Institutions Code section 387[1]petition in which the San Bernardino County Department of Childrens Services (hereafter DCS) sought to remove J.R. from E.E.s custody. E.E. contends in this appeal that when the trial court denied the section 387 petition, it was required to return J.R. to her custody, and DCS should then have been precluded from seeking to terminate her Probate Code guardianship of J.R. Otherwise, E.E. contends, DCS could accomplish through the Probate Code that which it could not accomplish under the Welfare and Institutions Code. Court do not share E.E.s view, for reasons we explain below, and therefore Court affirm.
