D.Z. v. Superior Court
D.Z. (father) challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support the juvenile courts ruling denying him reunification services based on his history of drug abuse and resistance to treatment. (Welf. & Inst. Code, 361.5, subd. (b)(13), hereafter sometimes 361.5(b)(13).) Counsel for fathers now four-year-old son, S.Z., opposes the petition. Contrary to fathers claims, substantial evidence supports the juvenile courts conclusion father suffered, within the meaning of the statute authorizing denial of reunification services, an extensive history of drug abuse and that his previous treatment program was court-ordered. (Ibid.) Consequently, Court deny fathers writ petition.
