Opinion


In re K.O., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. SAN DIEGO COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. SHAWNA O., Defendant and Appellant. D060929 California Court of Appeals, Fourth District, First Division March 1, 2012

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

APPEAL from orders of the Superior Court of San Diego County No. J517923, Laura J. Birkmeyer, Judge.

BENKE, J.

Shawna O. appeals findings and orders entered at hearings held under Welfare and Institutions Code sections 388 and 366.26. Citing In re Sade C. (1996) 13 Cal.4th 952, she 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 [her] custody of a child or [her] 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 and to address the Anders issues. (Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738.)

Citing In re Phoenix H. (2009) 47 Cal.4th 835, Shawna's counsel asks this court to exercise its discretion to provide her client the opportunity to file a supplemental brief in propria persona. Counsel also asks this court to order counsel to brief any arguable issue. (Penson v. Ohio (1988) 488 U.S. 75, 88.) The requests are denied.

DISPOSITION

The appeal is dismissed.

WE CONCUR: McCONNELL, P. J.IRION, J.
