In re S.J.
Mother appeals from the order terminating her parental rights to L.C. and Jeremiah C. under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26. She contends the dependency court violated her statutory right to counsel and due process right to an opportunity to be heard when it conducted the termination hearing in her absence and her attorneys absence. As mother does not demonstrate prejudicial error, we affirm the judgment. Mother also petitions for a writ of habeas corpus seeking reversal of the termination order on the ground counsel provided ineffective assistance in failing to appear on her behalf at the hearing. As mother provides no evidence the result would have been more favorable had counsel been present, court conclude the petition fails to state a prima facie case for relief and deny the petition.
