DIVISION TWO

In re LUIS N., a Person B332337 Coming Under the Juvenile (Los Angeles County Super. Court Law. Ct. No. 22LJJP00432A)

LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

SAMMY N.,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Jennifer W. Baronoff, Judge Pro Tempore. Affirmed.

Benjamin Ekenes, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

Dawyn R. Harrison, County Counsel, Kim Nemoy, Assistant County Counsel, and Jessica Buckelew, Deputy County Counsel, for Plaintiff and Respondent.

****** Sammy N. (father) appeals from the juvenile court’s order terminating dependency jurisdiction over his son, Luis N., and issuing an exit order limiting father to monitored visitation with Luis. Father contends that the juvenile court’s requirement in the exit order that his visitation be monitored was based, at least in part, on father’s failure to complete mental health services that the court previously ordered at the dispositional hearing in this matter. Because we have affirmed the mental health services requirement in the dispositional order in a recently filed separate opinion (In re Luis N. (June 4, 2024, B326735) [nonpub. opn.] (Luis N. I)), father’s purely derivative arguments challenging the visitation component of the exit order necessarily fail. Thus, we affirm.1 FACTS AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND We hereby incorporate Sections I through VII of the Facts and Procedural Background section from our opinion in Luis N. I and will not restate them here; we will renumber the sections herein as if they are a continuation of the Facts and Procedural Background section in Luis N. I.
