Mariah Y. v. Super. Ct. CA5

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).) A 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.) Because mother fails to raise any claim of juvenile court error, we will dismiss her petition as facially inadequate.

DISPOSITION

The petition for extraordinary writ is dismissed. This opinion is immediately final as to this court.

All statutory references are to the Welfare and Institutions Code unless otherwise indicated.
