In re Evan V. CA5
Jose V. (father) appealed from the juvenile court’s orders issued at a combined hearing pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code sections 388 and 366.36 conducted on October 24, 2017. At that hearing, the court denied father’s section 388 petition, in which he requested that his son, then three-year-old Evan, be returned to his custody under family maintenance services. The court also entered findings and orders pursuant to section 366.26, terminating father’s parental rights and freeing Evan for adoption.
After reviewing the juvenile court record, father’s court-appointed counsel informed this court he could find no arguable issues to raise on father’s behalf. This court granted father leave to personally file a letter setting forth a good cause showing that an arguable issue of reversible error exists. (In re Phoenix H. (2009) 47 Cal.4th 835, 844 (Phoenix H.).)
