California Court of Appeal

Juvenile Court's order terminating parental rights is affirmed where father's right to assert a position regarding his paternal status did not entitle him to a contested 366.26 hearing and because the minor's paternity had already been established, and the court did not have to give appellant the notice and form provided for in section 316.2.
