N.L. v. Superior Court
N. L. (Father) seeks an extraordinary writ to set aside an order of the San Francisco County Superior Court, Juvenile Division, which terminated his reunification services and set a hearing under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26 to select a permanent plan for his daughter, P. L. (born March 2005). Father contends the court erred in that: it set the six month status review hearing (six-month hearing) prematurely; it failed to give him the oral advisement required under section 361.5, subdivision (a) at the conclusion of the dispositional hearing; it improperly denied his request for a continuance made at the outset of the six month hearing; and it made a finding not supported by substantial evidence at the conclusion of the six month hearing, to the effect that the countys Department of Human Services (Department) offered or provided him reasonable reunification services. As discussed below, court find no merit in these claims and deny Fathers petition on the merits.
