O.B.

DISCUSSION

The purpose of writ proceedings such as this is to facilitate review of a juvenile court’s order setting a section 366.26 hearing to select and implement a permanent plan for a dependent child. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.450(a).) The juvenile court’s decision is presumed correct. (Denham v. Superior Court (1970) 2 Cal.3d 557, 564.) It is up to a petitioner to raise specific issues and substantively address them. (§ 366.26, subd. (l).) This court will not independently review the record for possible error. (In re Sade C. (1996) 13 Cal.4th 952, 994.)

3 Father filed a form writ petition that is essentially blank. He neither raises nor substantively addresses any specific issue, as required by section 366.26, subdivision (l). Because father has filed an inadequate petition, we shall dismiss this proceeding.

DISPOSITION

The extraordinary writ proceeding is dismissed. This opinion is final forthwith as to this court.
