Opinion


In re GEORGE A., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. SAN DIEGO COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. LEANNA K. et al., Defendants and Appellants. D057018 California Court of Appeal, Fourth District, First Division July 2, 2010

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, No. SJ011934 Yvonne E. Campos, Judge.

BENKE, Acting P. J.

Leanna K. and George A., Sr., appeal the findings and orders entered at the termination of parental rights hearing held pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26, including the denial of George, Sr.'s, section 388 petition. Citing In re Sade C. (1996) 13 Cal.4th 952, they ask this court to exercise its discretion to review the record for error.

In In re Sade C., the California Supreme Court held review pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 is unavailable in "an indigent parent's appeal from a judgment or order, obtained by the state, adversely affecting [his or her] custody of a child or [his or her] status as the child's parent." (In re Sade C., supra, 13 Cal.4th at p. 959.) We therefore deny Leanna's and George, Sr.'s, requests to review the record for error and to address their Anders issues. (Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738.)

Citing In re Phoenix H. (2009) 47 Cal.4th 835, Leanna's and George, Sr.'s, counsel also asks this court to exercise its discretion to provide the parents the opportunity to file a supplemental brief in propria persona. The request is denied.

DISPOSITION

The appeal is dismissed.

WE CONCUR: McINTYRE, J., AARON, J.
