California Court of Appeal
Justin L. v. Superior Ct. of Los Angeles County, B206462
Petitions for extraordinary writ review are denied in all respects except that a preemptory writ of mandate is issued solely for the purpose of ensuring compliance with the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) where: 1) the evidence supports the juvenile court's Welfare and Institutions Code section 300(e) finding and the ensuing order denying reunification services under sections 361.5(b)(5) and (6); 2) The juvenile court did not err in declining petitioner's request for a continuance of the disposition hearing; and 3) a remand was necessary to ensure compliance with ICWA.
