J.L. v. Superior Court
J.L. (Mother) seeks review of the juvenile court’s order bypassing family reunification services and scheduling a permanency planning hearing for her son, J.L. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26, subd. (c),[1] (hereafter the section 366.26 hearing.) The juvenile court denied Mother reunification services because she had a history of chronic use of drugs and alcohol and resisted prior court-ordered treatment for her substance abuse problem. (§ 361.5, subd. (b)(13).) Substantial evidence supports the decision to bypass reunification services, and we deny Mother’s petition for an extraordinary writ.
