In re Lucien S.
Pablo S. (father) appeals from the judgments declaring his children, Lucien S., Etienne S., and Jolie S., dependents of the court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300 and from the orders removing them from his custody. Father raises the following contentions: (1) the order granting rehearing was unauthorized and deprived him of due process; (2) permitting one witness to testify in chambers violated his right to confrontation; and (3) substantial evidence does not support the jurisdictional findings and dispositional orders.
Court hold that the grant of rehearing was authorized and did not deprive father of due process. Father forfeited the issue pertaining to receiving testimony in chambers by failing to object to the procedure. Substantial evidence supports the findings and orders. Accordingly, the judgments and orders are affirmed.
