In re Caleb R. CA5
Appellant Melissa P., maternal aunt and legal guardian of now 11-year-old Caleb R., appeals the juvenile court’s jurisdictional finding adjudging Caleb a dependent child pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (b)(1). Under subdivision (b)(1) of section 300, it must be proved there is a substantial risk the child will suffer serious physical harm as a result of his guardian’s failure to supervise or protect him. Melissa contends the allegations contained in the petition failed to state a basis for jurisdiction under section 300, subdivision (b) and that there was insufficient evidence for the court to assume jurisdiction over Caleb. We conclude Melissa’s appeal is moot and dismiss it in light of the juvenile court’s order terminating the legal guardianship, which Melissa did not challenge.
