In re K.B. CA2/4
Defendant Natasha G. (mother) appeals from jurisdiction and disposition orders of the juvenile court, sustaining a petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivisions (a) and (b), with regard to her son, K.B., and placing K.B. with his father, Jermaine B. (father). Mother’s appointed counsel filed an opening brief under In re Phoenix H. (2009) 47 Cal.4th 835, stating that she found no arguable issues and asking this court to exercise its discretion to allow mother to file her own brief. (See id. at p. 845 [Court of Appeal is not required to allow an indigent parent to file a brief when appointed counsel has concluded there are no arguable issues, but it has discretion to permit the parent to do so].)
