Opinion


In re P.A., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law. SAN DIEGO COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. P.A., Defendant and Appellant. D056365 California Court of Appeal, Fourth District, First Division April 28, 2010

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of San Diego County No. J511465A, Martin W. Staven, Judge. (Retired Judge of the Tulare S.Ct. assigned by the Chief Justice pursuant to art. VI, § 6 of the Cal. Const.)

McCONNELL, P. J.

P.A. (Father) appeals findings and orders entered at a permanency plan and selection 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 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 and to address the Anders issues. (Anders v. California (1967) 386 U.S. 738.)

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

DISPOSITION

The appeal is dismissed.

WE CONCUR: BENKE, J., O'ROURKE, J.
