In re J.R. CA1/1
Appellant J.R. has been a dependent of the juvenile court since she was 16. She became a nonminor dependent while still in high school, once she turned 18 years old, the Alameda County Social Services Agency (Agency) sought to terminate her dependency because she no longer met the statutory requirements that she be working, enrolled in school, or had been found incapable of doing so due to a medical condition.
J.R.’s counsel sought an extension of the termination hearing because J.R. had a psychological examination scheduled to determine if she had a qualifying medical condition, an examination that she had previously refused to undergo. Counsel also sought to call J.R.’s caregiver as a witness to testify about her mental health symptoms. The court denied both requests, and terminated J.R.’s nonminor dependent status. We conclude none of those orders were an abuse of discretion, and affirm.
