DIVISION SIX

In re K.E., et al., Persons Coming Under 2d Juv. No. B260743 the Juvenile Court Law. (Super. Ct. Nos. J069602, J069603) (Ventura County)

VENTURA COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

T.E., et al.,

Defendants and Appellants.

T.E. (mother) appeals the juvenile court's order terminating parental rights to her minor children K.E. and L.E. and selecting adoption as the permanent plan. (Welf. & Inst. Code,1 § 366.26.) G.C. (father), the presumed father of L.E., appeals the same order as to L.E. only. Both parents also appeal the denial of their petitions to modify the court's prior order bypassing reunification services. (§ 388.) We appointed counsel to represent them on appeal. On February 23, 2015, counsel for father filed a brief in which she informed us that she had found no arguable issues. On April 1, 2015, mother's counsel

filed a brief raising no issues. We subsequently notified mother and father that they had 30 days within which to submit any contentions they wished us to consider, and that their appeals would be dismissed as abandoned in the absence of any arguable issues. Neither parent has presented any issues for the court's consideration. Because no claim of error or other defect has been raised in this matter, father's appeal filed on December 16, 2014, and mother's appeal filed on December 22, 2014, are dismissed as abandoned.
