In re Madison E.
Michael R. (father) appealed from a 2012 order terminating parental rights (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26) to his three-year-old daughter, Madison (child).[1] After reviewing the entire record, father’s court-appointed appellate counsel informed this court she could find no arguable issues to raise on father’s behalf. Counsel requested, and this court granted, leave for father to personally file a letter setting forth a good cause showing that an arguable issue of reversible error did exist. (In re Phoenix H. (2009) 47 Cal.4th 835, 844.)
Father has since submitted a letter in which he complains the juvenile court violated the constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy when, in early 2011, it removed Madison from his custody. As discussed below, we conclude father has not made a good cause showing of arguable error by the juvenile court. We will dismiss father’s appeal.
