In re Y.B.
Mother, Jasmine A., appeals from an order terminating her parental rights to her daughter Y.B. under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26.[1] Mother contends that she was denied her right to due process because counsel did not receive the social workers report 10 days before the hearing. She also argues that the court abused its discretion in denying her requested continuance. In a supplemental opening brief, Mother contends that the failure to provide counsel with the report prior to the section 366.26 hearing violated California Rules of Court, rule 5.725(c). Court conclude that, although the report was not timely provided to counsel, this error was not prejudicial under People v. Watson (1956) 46 Cal.2d 818, 836 (Watson). Court thus affirm the order.
