In re Annie S.
Appellant Marguerite M. (mother) is the mother of Chloe (born August 1993), Bryanna (born May 1999), Annie (born February 2003), and Christopher (born November 2006). Appellant Sonny S. (Sonny)[1] is the father of Annie and Christopher. Mother appeals the denial of her petition, under Welfare and Institutions Code section 388,[2] seeking return of all the children to her custody, or in the alternative, an additional six months of family reunification services. Sonny appeals the denial of his section 388 petition seeking return of Annie and Christopher to his custody, or alternatively, for an additional six months of family reunification services. Both parents contend the juvenile court erred by denying their respective petitions without first conducting an evidentiary hearing.
We hold that the juvenile court did not abuse its discretion by summarily denying mother and Sonny’s respective section 388 petitions without an evidentiary hearing. We therefore affirm the juvenile court’s orders.
