In re E.R. CA2/4
U.R. (father) appeals from the court’s order denying his request to return his son, E.R., to his custody and terminating his reunification services pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code sections 366.21 and 366.22. We dismiss father’s appeal because it has been rendered moot by further rulings in the dependency court while the appeal was pending.
In April 2015, the juvenile court sustained an amended petition filed by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), finding dependency jurisdiction over E.R. pursuant to section 300, subdivision (b). The court removed E.R. from father’s custody. Following contested proceedings pursuant to sections 366.21, subdivisions (e) and (f), and 366.22, the court issued an order on January 11, 2017 releasing E.R. to his mother’s custody, but denying father’s request for custody and terminating father’s reunification services. Father appealed.
