In re Jasmin M.
Clarence R.and Erica C.(collectively, the de facto parents)areformer foster parents and de facto parentsoftwo-year-oldJasmin M.Clarence R. appeals from the juvenile court’sorder denying his petition for modification (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 388),[1]in which hehad requested return of Jasmin to his care. Although his briefing on appeal is somewhat unclear, it appears heessentially contends that his and Erica C.’s constitutional rights were violated when the juvenile court removed Jasmin from their care without a hearing and, in addition,that the juvenile court abused its discretion when it denied his section 388 petition without a hearing. We conclude (1) the de facto parents have waived the right to challenge Jasmin’s removal by failing to appeal the March 2016 removal order, and (2) the court did not abuse its discretion when it deniedClarence R.’s section 388 petition without a hearing. We shall therefore affirm the juvenile court’s order.
