Opinion
NOT TO BE PUBLISHED
APPEALS from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County No. CK70079, Donna Levin, Juvenile Court Referee.
Eva E. Chick, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant, R.C.
Diana W. Prince, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant, J.M.
TURNER, P.J.
The parents, R.C. and J.M., purport to appeal from an order entered pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.21, subdivision (f) setting a parental termination rights hearing. We noted that such order is not appealable. We have a duty to raise issues of our own jurisdiction on our own motion. (Jennings v. Marralle (1994) 8 Cal.4th 121, 126; Olson v. Cory (1983) 35 Cal.3d 390, 398.) As a result, we issued an order to show cause and set the matter for oral argument. The appeals must be dismissed because an order setting a parental termination rights hearing is not appealable. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26, subd. (l)(1); In re Julie S. (1996) 48 Cal.App.4th 988, 990-991.)
The appeals are dismissed.
We concur, ARMSTRONG, J., KRIEGLER, J.
