In re R.H. CA4/3

INTRODUCTION

The juvenile court found, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26, that R.H. (now four years old), J.H. (now three years old), and Mi.H.

Because substantial evidence supports the juvenile court’s findings, we affirm the order.

STATEMENT OF FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

The facts leading to the court’s jurisdiction and disposition orders are detailed in two previous unpublished opinions, Ma.H. v. Superior Court (Aug. 27, 2015, G051997) and In re Mc.H.…
