Opinion

In re NOAH T., A Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. SAN DIEGO COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. AARON T., Defendant and Appellant. D051132 California Court of Appeal, Fourth District, First Division October 2, 2007

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Martin W. Staven, Judge. Dismissed.

NARES, J.

Aaron T. appeals the findings and orders entered at the termination of parental rights hearing held pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26. 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 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 his requests to review the record for error and to address his Anders issue. (Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738.)

Aaron T.'s counsel has filed a "motion to file appellant's supplemental statement," attached to which is a statement by Aaron T. The motion is denied. The Clerk of this Court is directed to return the statement to Aaron T.'s counsel.

DISPOSITION

The appeal is dismissed.
