In re L.B.
The father appeals from an order terminating his parental rights as to his youngest child, L. B. (Welf. & Inst. Code, 366.26.) He cites no error arising out of the section 366.26 hearing. Instead he contends that he was denied fair and adequate reunification services and that the social services agency violated his rights by providing the court with inaccurate information as to his criminal record, and by denying him the opportunity to retake a drug test. These are not issues that can be properly raised in an appeal from an order terminating parental rights. Issues regarding reunification services can be raised only in a petition for an extraordinary writ. ( 366.26, subd. (l).) No such petition was filed in this case. However, since it appears from the record that the father was not properly noticed, under section 366.26, subdivision (l)(3), of his rights to proceed by extraordinary writ, Court consider his claims in this appeal. Court find that the courts order denying services was fully supported by the record and Court find no reversible errors. Court therefore affirm the order terminating parental rights.
