In re J.J. CA5
On May 7, 2018, the juvenile court exercised its dependency jurisdiction over now nine-month-old J.J. at a dispositional hearing (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 358) and ordered C.J. (mother) to participate in reunification services. Mother appealed. After reviewing the juvenile court record, mother’s court-appointed counsel informed this court she could find no arguable issues to raise on mother’s behalf. This court granted mother 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.).)
Mother submitted a letter in which she claims she was not provided proper notice of the proceedings or adequate legal counsel. She disputes allegations made by the Stanislaus County Community Services Agency (agency) regarding her prenatal care and the death of J.J.’s sibling in 2014. She attached medical documentation which we cannot review because it is extrajudicial evide
