In re S.L. CA4/2
Gregory P. Priamos, County Counsel, and James E. Brown, Guy B. Pittman, Carole Nunes Fong, and Prabhath Shettigar, Deputy County Counsel, for Plaintiff and Respondent.
On August 8, 2017, the juvenile court terminated defendant and appellant, M.M.’s (Father), parental rights as to S.L. (Minor), born in November 2015. On appeal, Father contends the juvenile court violated his right to due process by terminating his parental rights as a Kelsey S. father without ever rendering a finding that a custody placement of Minor with Father was detrimental to Minor by the clear and convincing evidence standard of proof. In the alternative, Father argues counsel below rendered constitutionally ineffective assistance of counsel by failing to request the court declare Father a Kelsey S. father. We dismiss the appeal.
