Justine H. v. Superior Court
Justine H. seeks writ relief (Welf. & Inst. Code, 366.26 subd. (l);[1] Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.452) from denial by the juvenile court of her request for an order requiring the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (Department) to investigate placement of her two dependent children in the home of their maternal grandparents. ( 361.3.) This order was made at a hearing conducted at the conclusion of the statutory limit for reunification ( 366.22), at which time the court entered an order setting a section 366.26 permanency planning hearing.[2]
Court dismiss the petition because Justine H. lacks standing to seek appellate review of the order denying relative placement.
