Oscar M. v. Superior Court
The juvenile court denied petitioner Oscar M. reunification services under Welfare and Institutions Code section 361.5, subdivision (e)(1)[1] at a contested dispositional hearing in November 2012 as to his then one-month-old son because Oscar was incarcerated, serving a sentence in excess of the statutory reunification period. The juvenile court also set a section 366.26 hearing.
Oscar challenges the juvenile court’s denial of services and setting orders in propria persona by filing an extraordinary writ petition. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.452.) He contends his incarceration should not be a bar to reunification. We disagree and deny the petition.
