| SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN'S SERVICES, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. JEFFREY H., Defendant and Appellant. | E039361 (Super.Ct.No. J195539) OPINION |
APPEAL from the Superior Court of San Bernardino County. Deborah Daniel, Temporary Judge. (Pursuant to Cal. Const., art. VI, § 21.) Affirmed.

Jeffrey H. (Father) is the father of six-year-old Ashley H. Father appeals from an order terminating his parental rights. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26.)[1] On appeal, he contends (1) the juvenile court violated his due process rights when it failed to issue a temporary removal order on his behalf to attend the section 366.26 hearing; (2) the juvenile court erred in finding he was provided with reasonable reunification services; (3) his challenge to the juvenile court's orders terminating his reunification services and setting a section 366.26 hearing have not been forfeited; and (4) the findings and orders at the section 366.26 hearing were corrupted by the juvenile court's unsupported finding that he was provided with reasonable reunification services. As explained below, we reject Father's contentions and affirm the judgment.
