K.S. v. Superior Court
Petitioner K.S. (father) filed a petition for extraordinary writ pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 8.452, challenging the juvenile court’s order denying reunification services as to his son, K.S. (the child), and setting a Welfare and Institutions Code[1] section 366.26 hearing. On May 21, 2013, this court stayed the section 366.26 hearing, pending further order. We lift the stay.
Father now argues that: (1) the petition failed to plead essential facts to support allegations under section 300, subdivisions (a), (b), and (e); (2) there was insufficient evidence to support jurisdiction on the basis that father abused the child; (3) the juvenile court erred in denying the child’s mother (mother)[2] and him reunification services under section 361.5, subdivision (b)(5); and (4) the child should have been placed with the maternal grandmother. We deny the writ petition.
