S.M. v. Super. Ct.
By petitions for extraordinary writ, S.M. (Mother) and R.V. (Father) challenge an 18-month permanency review hearing order, made on August 21, 2008, terminating family reunification services and setting a permanency plan hearing for their four children on January 5, 2009. We deny the parents petitions because substantial evidence supports the juvenile courts findings that reasonable services had been provided and that the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) had made reasonable efforts to provide those services. The parents also fail to establish that the court abused its discretion in finding that there were no extraordinary circumstances warranting an extension of reunification services.
