Opinion

In re G. M., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. SAN DIEGO COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. FERNANDO M., Objector and Appellant. D055791 California Court of Appeal, Fourth District, First Division November 23, 2009

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

APPEAL from findings and orders of the Superior Court of San Diego County No. J517814 Lloyd M. Harmon, Referee.

O'ROURKE, J.

Fernando M. appeals findings and orders entered at a 12-month status review hearing held pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.21. 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 appellant's requests to review the record for error.

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

DISPOSITION

The appeal is dismissed.
