In re I.L. CA2/6
A.L. (mother) appeals orders of the juvenile court which terminated juvenile court dependency jurisdiction over her children, I.L. and S.L., minors under the juvenile court law, following a jurisdiction/disposition hearing. In jurisdiction exit orders, the court granted father custody of the children. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 300, subd. (b)(1).) We conclude, among other things, that: 1) the juvenile court did not abuse its discretion by denying mother’s counsel’s request for a continuance of the jurisdiction/disposition hearing when mother did not appear for that hearing, and 2) its decision to proceed to decide the merits in mother’s absence did not contravene her due process rights. We affirm.
