In re J.M. CA4/1
Henderson and Ranasinghe and Kelly Ranasinghe for Plaintiff and Respondent.
In this case of apparent first impression in California, we hold that the Imperial County Department of Social Services (Department) failed to meet its burden under People v. Kelly (1976) 17 Cal.3d 24 (Kelly) of showing that testing hair for marijuana and methamphetamine has gained general acceptance in the scientific community. We affirm, however, because on this record—which also contains unchallenged urine drug tests—the error was harmless.
