In re S.M. CA2/8
Defendant and appellant Darrell C. (father) appeals from the juvenile court’s orders denying his petition pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 388 and terminating parental rights to his daughter, S.M. Father, who was adjudged an alleged father at the detention, adjudication and disposition hearings, contends the court erred by failing to make a paternity finding when he first appeared in court more than a year later and filed a form JV-505 request. He further contends the court abused its discretion in thereafter summarily denying his section 388 petition and terminating his parental rights.
We affirm.
