B.B. v. Super. Ct.
Annotate this CaseIn 2013, the juvenile court terminated reunification services for B.B. (Father) and appointed H.B.'s (the minor) maternal aunt as legal guardian. In 2016, the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency filed a new petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300 and sought to terminate the guardianship. Father petitioned for extraordinary relief for review of the juvenile court's order terminating the guardianship and setting a section 366.26 hearing to determine a new permanent plan for H.B. He contended the Agency erred when it filed a new section 300 petition instead of a petition under section 388 to terminate the guardianship. He argued this error was prejudicial because it denied him the opportunity to seek reunification services at a 60-day review hearing following termination of the guardianship. The Court of Appeal concluded any error was harmless and denied Father's writ petition.
