In re CHRISTOPHER F., B314360

a Person Coming Under the (Los Angeles County Juvenile Court Law. Super. Ct. No. 21CCJP02378)

LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

EDUARDO F.,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Linda Sun, Judge. Affirmed. Terence M. Chucas, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. Rodrigo A. Castro-Silva, County Counsel, Kim Nemoy, Assistant County Counsel, and Aileen Wong, Deputy County Counsel, for Plaintiff and Respondent.

The presumed father (Eduardo F.) appeals from the juvenile dependency court’s July 8, 2021 order denying Eduardo’s request for custody of Christopher F., his 16-year-old son. We affirm.

BACKGROUND

Eduardo is the presumed father of Christopher (born in August 2004). Christopher’s mother is A.P (mother). Eduardo has three children younger than Christopher, and mother has two other children, Aliana L. born in 2007 and Dominic P. (Junior) born in 2012. Until these proceedings were initiated, Christopher lived with mother, Junior’s father (Dominic P., Sr.), and his younger half-siblings. This appeal involves only Christopher, the sole question being whether the juvenile court erred in refusing to place Christopher with Eduardo.
