In re A.S.
Father and mother appeal from May 26, 2006, orders of the dependency court terminating their parental rights to their two children, A.S. and D.S.
Court hold: (1) the parents abandoned their pleas for substitute counsel pursuant to People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118; (2) the juvenile court erred in not ordering family reunification services to father; and (3) as to mother, the exception to terminating parental rights found in Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26, subdivision (c)(1)(A) did not apply. Court reverse the order terminating parental rights and the section 366.21, subdivision (f) December 15, 2005, order only as to father. Court remand to the juvenile court.
