IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FIFTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

In re B.T., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law.

STANISLAUS COUNTY COMMUNITY F081437 SERVICES AGENCY, (Super. Ct. No. JVDP-19-000158) Plaintiff and Respondent,

v. OPINION P.T.,

Defendant and Appellant.

THE COURT* APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Stanislaus County. Ann Q. Ameral, Judge. S. Lynne Klein, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance for Plaintiff and Respondent. -ooOoo-

* Before Poochigian, Acting P.J., Franson, J. and Peña, J.

We review for the third time dependency proceedings that began in the juvenile dependency court in April 2019 regarding P.T. (mother) and her four minor children. In May 2020, we denied extraordinary writ petitions seeking relief from the court’s orders terminating her reunification services for the three older children and denying her reunification services for her youngest son, B.T., 1 and setting a Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26 hearing.2 On this appeal, mother challenges the juvenile court’s order terminating her parental rights (§ 366.26) to now one-year-old B.T. After reviewing the juvenile court record, mother’s court-appointed counsel informed this court she could find no arguable issues to raise on mother’s behalf. This court granted mother leave to personally file a letter setting forth a good cause showing that an arguable issue of reversible error exists. (In re Phoenix H. (2009) 47 Cal.4th 835, 844.) Mother filed a letter but failed to address the termination findings or orders or set forth a good cause showing that any arguable issue of reversible error arose from the section 366.26 hearing. (In re Phoenix H., supra, 47 Cal.4th at p. 844.) Consequently, we dismiss the appeal. PROCEDURAL AND FACTUAL SUMMARY B.T. was removed from mother’s custody at birth in July 2019 by the Stanislaus County Community Services Agency (agency) while she was receiving reunification services for his seven-, three- and one-year-old siblings (the siblings). B.T. and his siblings are the product of an incestuous 10-year relationship between mother and her father, M.T. (father). Father also had an open dependency case arising from allegations
