In re L.K.
L.K. (father) appeals from the judgment of March 9, 2009, declaring L., I., and L., Jr., (the children) dependents of the court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300. Father argues that the dependency court failed to give him a meaningful opportunity to qualify as a presumed father. Father contends it was a violation of due process and Penal Code section 2625 to hold the jurisdiction/disposition hearing without giving him an opportunity to appear and be heard. He asks us to reverse the judgment and remand for appointment of counsel and a new jurisdiction/disposition hearing, and consideration of his sister for relative placement.
