California Court of Appeal

In a juvenile dependency proceeding, the juvenile court's decision denying reunification services to the parents is affirmed, where: 1) the parents were not entitled to reunification services under Welf. and Inst. Code section 361.5, since the paternal grandparents, not the parents, had custody of the child; and 2) there was no requirement that the defendant agency or the court proceed pursuant to section 366.3, governing termination of guardianships, rather than section 300.
