In re Joe B.
Appellant Christopher B. (“Fatherâ€), the presumed father of minor Joe B., appeals from the juvenile court’s jurisdiction and disposition orders declaring Joe a dependent of the court pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code[1] section 300, subdivisions (b) and (j), and denying reunification services to Father pursuant to section 361.5, subdivision (b)(11). As to the jurisdiction order, Father argues that the evidence was insufficient to support the juvenile court’s finding that Father’s prior sexual and physical abuse of his stepdaughter and daughter placed Joe at substantial risk of harm. As to the disposition order, Father asserts that the juvenile court prejudicially erred in refusing to grant his request for a 30-day continuance of the disposition hearing, and in finding that Father had failed to make reasonable efforts to treat the problems that led to the prior removal of Joe’s half-siblings. We affirm.
