In re O.B. CA6
D.B. (Father) is the presumed parent of minor child O.B., born in 2015. The trial court sustained a petition filed by the Santa Cruz County Human Services Department (the Department), alleging that O.B. came within the jurisdiction of the juvenile court pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivisions (b)(1) and (b)(2). At the jurisdictional and dispositional hearing, the court placed O.B. with the Department and ordered supervised visitation for both D.B. and O.B.’s mother, N.B. (Mother).
On appeal Father contends the trial court erred in removing O.B. from Mother, claiming there is not substantial evidence to support the disposition order and that the trial court violated his due process rights at the hearing. Father also claims he received ineffective assistance of counsel. Concluding that the trial court did not err, and that Father has failed to show prejudice resulting from any ineffective assistance of counsel, we will affirm the trial court’s orders.
