In re E.L. CA2/1
J.L. (Father) appeals from the juvenile court’s jurisdiction and disposition orders made after the juvenile court adjudged his son E.L. (born in 2011) a dependent under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300. The sustained petition alleged: (1) E.L.’s mother, T.W., abused drugs; (2) that the parents had a history of domestic violence; and (3) that Father had a history of substance abuse that interfered with his ability to care for E.L. and placed the minor at risk of harm. Although Father contends this court should reverse the jurisdiction findings involving his substance abuse, he does not challenge the other jurisdictional findings. Because Father’s contentions, even if accepted, would not justify a reversal of the court’s jurisdiction order or the grant of any other effective relief, we decline to address them and dismiss the appeal.
