In re Armando L.
Annotate this CaseAfter the juvenile court terminated its jurisdiction over 11-year-old Armando L., who had been a dependent of the juvenile court for two years, Armando’s mother contends the juvenile court improperly denied her an evidentiary hearing on the issues of Armando’s custody and whether the juvenile court’s jurisdiction should have been terminated. The court concluded that mother had a right to present evidence at the Welfare and Institutions Code section 364 hearing to challenge dismissal of the dependency action and to present any evidence relevant to the juvenile court’s exit orders. The juvenile court’s denial of an evidentiary hearing on these issues deprived mother of her due process right to present evidence, and the error was not harmless. Accordingly, the court reversed and remanded.
