California Court of Appeal

Orders of the juvenile court denying father reunification services are affirmed, where: 1) the Welfare & Institutions Code section 361.5(b)(10) reunification bypass provision does not apply as there is not sufficient evidence to support the finding that the father had not made reasonable efforts to treat the problems that led to the removal of the half siblings; and 2) the section 361.5(e) reunification bypass provision does apply, as there is sufficient evidence to support the finding that the father was incarcerated and it would be detrimental to the minors to provide reunification services.
