Opinion

In re JOSEPH B. et al., Persons Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. SAN DIEGO COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. LAWRENCE B. et al., Defendants and Appellants. D059259 California Court of Appeal, Fourth District, First Division June 17, 2011

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

APPEALS from orders of the Superior Court of San Diego County No. EJ3204A-B, Ronald F. Frazier, Judge.

O'ROURKE, J.

Lawrence B. and Miranda B. appeal the orders entered at the termination of parental rights hearing held under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26. 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 under 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 their 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, Lawrence's and Miranda's counsel also ask this court to exercise its discretion to provide Lawrence and Miranda the opportunity to file supplemental briefs in propria persona. The requests are denied.

DISPOSITION

The appeals are dismissed.
