In re L.S. CA4/1

INTRODUCTION

Mother appeals from several juvenile court orders, include disposition orders

issued as to her child C.P. on November 12, 2013, and as to her other children on

the disposition order issued on January 8, 2014. As Anthony N.'s opening brief does not

raise any issues regarding the January 8, 2014, disposition order, we dismiss his appeal as

abandoned. (See In re Sade C. (1996) 13 Cal.4th 952, 994.) Similarly, as mother's

opening brief only raises issues regarding the November 12, 2013, disposition order, we

dismiss the remainder of her appeal as abandoned. (Ibid.)

Regarding the November 12, 2013, disposition order, mother contends there is

insufficient evidence to support the court's finding C.P.'s placement with C.P.'s father

(father) would not be detrimental to C.P. We disagree and affirm the judgment.
