In re J.G. CA6
Mother (R.G.) appeals from the juvenile court’s findings and orders following a contested 18-month review hearing terminating reunification services. Mother argues the juvenile court abused its discretion when it appointed child’s (J.G., born 1999) foster parent as her educational rights holder and denied mother’s request to represent herself in the dependency proceedings. Mother further argues there is insufficient evidence supporting the juvenile court’s findings that returning child to her care would create a substantial risk of detriment to child’s physical or emotional well-being and that the Santa Clara County Department of Family and Children’s Services (Department) provided her with reasonable services. While this appeal was pending, the juvenile court in San Francisco County returned child to mother’s care and dismissed the dependency proceeding. For the reasons set forth below, we agree with the Department that the appeal is now moot and dismissal is proper
