In re O.B.
R.M., the presumed father of minor R.M. and the alleged or step-father of O.B. and Z.B., appeals the juvenile dependency courts order denying his Welfare and Institutions Code[1]section 388 petition seeking return of his son R.M. to his custody, or the reinstatement of reunification services with R.M. and an order for the reinstatement of visitation with O.B. and Z.B. For the reasons stated herein, we conclude the juvenile dependency court did not abuse its discretion in ruling on the petition. Because appellant is only the alleged father of O.B. and Z.B. he has no right to visitation with the girls and thus he lacks standing to complain that the juvenile court denied his request to reinstate visitation with them. Furthermore, with respect to his claim concerning R.M., appellant failed to show a change of circumstances or the proposed changes would benefit R.M. Accordingly Court affirm.
