In re D.O. CA3
Appellant Yuba County Health and Human Services Department (Department) appeals the juvenile court’s order continuing reunification services to L.O., mother of the minor D.O., and denying the Department’s request for a second psychological evaluation of mother for purposes of invoking the bypass provisions of Welfare and Institutions Code section 361.5, subdivision (b)(2), which allows for bypass of reunification services when the parent “is suffering from a mental disability . . . that renders . . . her incapable of utilizing those services.”
Subsequent to the filing of the Department’s opening brief on appeal, the juvenile court entered an order terminating mother’s reunification services and setting the matter for a selection and implementation hearing pursuant to section 366.26. We requested that the parties provide supplemental briefing regarding why the appeal should not be dismissed as moot.
