Isabel H. v. Superior Court
Isabel H. (mother) petitions for a writ of mandate in the dependency case of her daughter. Mother claims the juvenile court abused its discretion and violated her right to due process of law when it denied her counsels request for a continuance under Welfare and Institutions Code section 352, subdivision (a),[1] to secure mothers appearance at a contested 12-month review hearing ( 366.21, subd. (f)). We deny the petition. The court was within its discretion in denying the continuance based on the absence of good cause.
