Opinion

In re CASSANDRA R., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. SAN DIEGO COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. GERARDO R. M., Defendant and Appellant. D055721 California Court of Appeal, Fourth District, First Division November 16, 2009

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County,No. SJ11744 Garry G. Haehnle, Judge.

AARON, J.

Gerardo R. M. appeals the findings and orders entered at a special hearing during which the court issued a placement order. Citing In re Sade C. (1996) 13 Cal.4th 952, he asks this court to exercise its discretion to review the record for error.

In In re Sade C., the California Supreme Court held that 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... custody of a child or his... status as the child's parent." (In re Sade C., supra, 13 Cal.4th at p. 959.) We therefore deny Gerardo's request to review the record for error.

Gerardo's counsel also requests leave for him to file a supplemental brief in propria persona. The request is denied.

DISPOSITION

The appeal is dismissed.
