In re A.B. CA1/3
Father of A.B. and L.B., appeals from orders, filed April 29, 2016 (one as to each child), making jurisdictional and dispositional findings on a consolidated Welfare and Institutions Code section 300 petition filed by respondent Sonoma County Human Services Department (the agency). He raises two issues: (1) the court failed to advise him of his rights to contested jurisdictional and dispositional hearings, and failed to make findings of a knowing waiver of those rights; and (2) the court and the agency failed in their respective duties to consider the children’s paternal aunt as a possible placement for the children. In Case No. A150487, father appeals from orders, filed December 2, 2016 (one as to each child), which, among other things, denied father visitation as being detrimental to the children. The agency opposes both appeals and has filed motions to dismiss on the ground that these appeals have been rendered moot by later orders.
