Rachel M. v. Superior Court
Rachel M. (mother) in propria persona seeks extraordinary writ relief from the juvenile court’s dispositional orders denying her reunification services under Welfare and Institutions Code section 361.5, subdivision (b)(13) and setting a section 366.26 hearing to select a permanent plan of adoption as to her four-month-old son, J.M. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.452.) Mother contends the evidence in her case does not support a denial of services under section 361.5, subdivision (b)(13), which applies when there is clear and convincing evidence that “the parent … of the child has a history of extensive, abusive and chronic use of drugs … and has resisted prior court-ordered treatment for this problem during a three-year period immediately prior to the filing of the petition[.]” We deny the petition.
