† Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court, assigned by the Chief Justice pursuant to article VI, section 6 of the California Constitution.
Y.G. (appellant) appeals from an order entered on December 6, 2013, denying her Welfare and Institutions Code section 388 petition and terminating parental rights pursuant to section 366.26 to L.S., Jr. (L.), A.S. (A.), and Gabriel G.

--------
On January 27, 2014, after examination of the record and the juvenile court file and discussing the issues on appeal with the California Appellate Project, appellant's court-appointed counsel advised this court in writing that there were no arguable issues. (In re Phoenix H. (2009) 47 Cal.4th 835.) On January 28, 2014, we notified appellant that she had 30 days within which to personally submit any argument she wished this court to consider and that the failure to do so would result in the dismissal of this appeal as abandoned.
On March 17, 2014, appellant filed a handwritten letter in which she informed this court that (1) she did not receive weekly visits with L. and A.; (2) the social worker's statements that she was inconsistent with conjoint therapy were false; (3) she did everything that was asked; and (4) she has remained clean and sober for over 14 months and continues to improve her life. These facts do not present an issue cognizable on appeal. Therefore, under the holding of In re Sade C. (1996) 13 Cal.4th 952, the appeal is dismissed.
