S.D. v. Superior court
S.D. (petitioner), the mother of M.D. (the minor), seeks an extraordinary writ to vacate the orders of the juvenile court terminating reunification services and setting a hearing pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26.[1] (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.452.)[2] Petitioner raises numerous contentions but, for the most part, has failed to support these with legal authority. We reject her contentions on this basis, with the exception of her claim that there was insufficient evidence to support the juvenile courts finding that she had not made substantive progress in reunification services. As this claim is resolved predominantly by a review of the facts, which petitioner has cited in her petition, Court reach the merits of this claim, albeit adversely to her. Accordingly, Court shall deny the petition.
