ST

Petitioner, S.T. (father), an incarcerated parent, seeks an extraordinary writ to vacate the orders of the juvenile court issued at a contested six-month review hearing terminating his reunification services and setting a permanency planning hearing as to his daughter, J.T. Father maintains that the court erred in believing that it had no discretion to continue services and in finding that the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) had provided him with reasonable services. The DCFS and counsel for the minor agree that there would be no detriment to the minor from continuing reunification services and therefore they do not oppose the requested relief. They assert, however, that the department did provide father with reasonable reunification services.

We will grant a writ directing the trial court to vacate its order and to reconsider continuing reunification services and setting a permanency planning hearing in accordance with the views expressed in this opinion.
