N.B. v. Superior Court CA1/1
Petitioner N.B., the former foster mother, prospective adoptive parent, and de facto parent of four siblings, petitions this court for extraordinary writ relief from orders of the superior court removing the minors from her home and placing them with N.B.’s former partner, K.P. She asks for immediate return of the children. N.B. also requests a stay of all further proceedings. We issued an order to show cause on November 22, 2017. N.B. accuses the Contra Costa County Children and Family Services Bureau (CFS or Bureau) of acting in bad faith, alleges denial of due process from the failure to provide timely notice of removal and protracted court delays, and argues substantial evidence does not support the court’s determination that removal from N.B. is in the children’s best interests. After careful consideration of the record and the parties’ contentions, we deny N.B.’s petition and request for stay.
