In re L.K.
Defendant and appellant R.F. is the maternal grandmother (MGM) of six-year-old L.K. and one-year-old L.J.K. MGM appeals from the juvenile court’s order denying her a full evidentiary hearing related to her Welfare and Institutions Code[1] section 388 petition requesting placement of the children in her care and custody.[2] On appeal, MGM argues that (1) the juvenile court erred in denying her section 388 petition without an evidentiary hearing; and (2) the juvenile court erred in failing to conduct a relative placement preference hearing pursuant to section 361.3 when it denied her section 388 petition. We reject MGM’s contentions and affirm the judgment.
