California Court of Appeal

MELINDA K. v. SUPERIOR COURT OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY (LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEP'T OF CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVS.), B168139

Welfare and Institutions Code section 395, which authorizes an appeal from an "order" after judgment, does not authorize an appeal from the juvenile court's isolated finding in this case that reasonable reunification services had been provided. However, such isolated findings may be challenged by petition for writ of mandate.
