In re J.C. CA4/3
Maternal grandmother J.S. (Grandmother) appeals from an April 2021 order denying her request for placement of dependent minors J.C., M.M., and Baby Boy S. (collectively Minors unless context requires otherwise) made pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 361.3. Grandmother asserts the court abused its discretion by failing to return the Minors to her care after their December 2020 removal from her home. She also maintains the court erred by refusing to grant her request to be deemed a de facto parent.
Several months later, and after Grandmother filed her notice of appeal, the juvenile court terminated the parental rights of the Minors’ biological mother (Mother) and respective fathers. We dismissed Mother’s appeal from the termination order after her counsel filed a brief raising no arguable issues. (In re Sade C. (1996) 13 Cal.4th 952.) The Minors’ respective fathers did not participate in the dependency proceedings nor file appeals.
