Ernest N. v. Superior Court
In September 2012, the juvenile court found that returning Ernest and Stacey N.’s four minor children to the parents would be detrimental to them. It terminated reunification services for both parents and set a January 2013 permanency planning hearing date. (See Welf. & Inst. Code,[1] § 366.26.) Ernest and Stacey each petition for review of the order terminating reunification services and setting a permanency planning hearing date, seeking a stay of that hearing. (See § 387.)
In her petition, Stacey contends that the minors should have been returned to her care because there was insufficient evidence to support the juvenile court’s finding of detriment. Both parents contend that reasonable services were not provided to them and that additional services should have been given. In his petition, Ernest challenges the sufficiency of evidence supporting the juvenile court’s order terminating his reunification services. Real party in interest Solano County Department of Health & Social Services opposes the petition. We deny the petition on the merits.
