J.H. v. Superior Court
Annotate this CasePeople v. Sanchez's, (2016) 63 Cal.4th 665, limitations do not render social service reports inadmissible in status review hearings held pursuant to the Welfare and Institutions Code. In this case, petitioner sought extraordinary writ review of the juvenile court's order terminating reunification services and setting the matter for a permanency plan hearing. Petitioner contended that the superior court erred when it considered a social services report in the absence of its primary author, and thus prevented his cross-examination of her at the 12-month status review hearing. The court denied the petition, holding that the juvenile court's consideration of the report did not violate petitioner's due process rights.
