SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION SIX

In re D.A., a Person Coming Under the 2d Juv. No. B257395 Juvenile Court Law. (Super. Ct. No. J069186) (Ventura County)

VENTURA COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

T.Z.,

Defendant and Appellant.

T.Z. appeals the juvenile court's order terminating his parental rights and selecting adoption as the permanent plan for his minor child D.A. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26). We appointed counsel to represent him on appeal. On September 24, 2014, counsel filed a brief in which she informed us that she had found no arguable issues. That same day, we sent a letter to appellant at his last known address notifying him that he had 30 days within which to submit any contentions that he wished us to consider, and that the appeal would be dismissed in the absence of

any arguable issues. The notice was returned as undeliverable. Appellant's attorney is unaware of his whereabouts, and appellant has not notified us of his new address. Because no claim of error or other defect has been raised in this matter, the appeal filed July 9, 2014, is dismissed as abandoned. (In re Phoenix H. (2009) 47 Cal.4th 835, 844-845; In re Sade C. (1996) 13 Cal.4th 952, 994.) NOT TO BE PUBLISHED.
