In re Arthur B. CA2/7
D.W. and Arthur B., Sr. (Arthur Sr.), parents of infant Arthur B., Jr. (Arthur), appeal from the juvenile court findings declaring Arthur a dependent of the court pursuant to a petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivisions (a) and (b). D.W. and Arthur Sr. contend substantial evidence does not support the court’s finding under section 300, subdivision (a), that their son faced a substantial risk of serious physical harm from their violent altercations. The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services moves to dismiss the appeal by D.W. and Arthur Sr. as not justiciable because D.W. and Arthur Sr. do not challenge the juvenile court’s jurisdiction findings under section 300, subdivision (b), based on their history of domestic violence and substance abuse, or the court’s disposition order. Because we cannot grant D.W. and Arthur Sr. any effective relief, we dismiss the appeal.
