Opinion


In re L.B., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. IMPERIAL COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. LETICIA A., Defendant and Appellant. D061549 California Court of Appeals, Fourth District, First Division June 7, 2012

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

APPEAL from orders of the Superior Court of Imperial County, No. JJP02384 Christopher W. Yeager, Judge.

McINTYRE, J.

Leticia A. appeals the findings and 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, she asks 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 Leticia's request to review the record for error and to address her Anders issues. (Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738.)

Citing In re Phoenix H. (2009) 47 Cal.4th 835, Leticia's counsel also asks this court to exercise its discretion to provide her the opportunity to file a supplemental brief in propria persona. The request is denied.

DISPOSITION

The appeal is dismissed.

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