In re L.T. CA3
Appellant K.U., mother of the minor, appeals from the juvenile court’s jurisdiction and disposition orders declaring the minor a dependent child, removing the minor from her care and placing him with the father, and terminating dependency. (Welf. & Inst. Code, §§ 300, 358, 360.) Although mother’s notice of appeal says she is only appealing from the jurisdiction order, the disposition hearing is the first hearing from which an appeal can be taken in a dependency case. (See In re Tracy Z. (1987) 195 Cal.App.3d 107, 112.) Accordingly, mother’s challenge to the jurisdiction order is raised in the appeal from the disposition order, which was heard and entered at the same time. (See In re Athena P. (2002) 103 Cal.App.4th 617, 624.)
Mother now contends the juvenile court erred in failing to obtain a personal waiver of mother’s rights. Finding no merit in her contention, we will affirm the juvenile court orders.
