In re E.P.
Appellant R.C. was the biological, but not presumed father of E.P., a dependent child, whom the Fresno County Superior Court recently freed for adoption (Welf. & Inst. Code, 366.26).[1] He appealed from the order terminating parental rights and was appointed appellate counsel by this court to represent him. His court-appointed appellate counsel subsequently informed this court by letter that counsel was not filing an opening brief for lack of any arguable issue (In re Sade C. (1996) 13 Cal.4th 952). In turn, this court extended time for appellant to personally file a letter brief which he has since done. In his letter brief, appellant argues he is prepared to do what it takes to be a father and it seems premature to terminate my parental rights. His arguments, however, do not amount to claims that the juvenile court committed an error affecting the outcome of this case (In re Sade C., supra, 13 Cal.4th at p. 994). Consequently, Court affirm.
