In re I.W. CA1/3
J.W., the paternal grandfather (grandfather) of two-year-old I.W., appeals an order denying his petition for modification pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 388 requesting that his grandson be placed with him. He contends the court erred in failing to apply the section 361.3 relative placement preference in considering his petition.
In a consolidated appeal, mother appeals from the juvenile court’s order terminating her parental rights and selecting adoption as the child’s permanent plan. She also contends the court erred in denying grandfather’s request for placement and argues that the error was prejudicial because placement with the grandfather would have precluded the need for termination of her parental rights.
