IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT
DIVISION ONE
In re A.L., a Person Coming Under B322684 the Juvenile Court Law. (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. 18CCJP01348)
LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES,
Plaintiff and Respondent,
v.
D.A.,
Defendant and Appellant.
APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Hernan D. Vera, Judge. Affirmed. Janette Freeman Cochran, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.
Office of the County Counsel, Dawyn R. Harrison, County Counsel, Kim Nemoy, Assistant County Counsel, Sarah Vesecky, Deputy County Counsel, for Plaintiff and Respondent. ___________________________________ In these dependency proceedings D.A. (mother), appeals from a juvenile court’s order terminating jurisdiction concerning A.L., her daughter, contending the court erred in denying her an evidentiary hearing, terminating jurisdiction, and fashioning the visitation order. We affirm. BACKGROUND The family consists of mother, D.L. (father, who is not party to this appeal), and the now five-year-old A.L. A.L. was born in June 2017 at 25 weeks gestation and resided with mother until February 2018, when mother was arrested for domestic violence against father. A.L. was detained and placed with father, who hitherto had had no contact with the child. Mother had a history of severe mental health problems, and she and A.L. were the subject of prior dependency proceedings. (In re A.L. (Oct. 31, 2019, B296028) [nonpub. opn.]; In re A.L. (Mar. 24, 2023, B320645) [nonpub. opn.].) At around 10:00 p.m. on March 8, 2022, mother was seen pacing up and down the street with A.L. in a stroller, then left A.L. and went into the middle of the street to lie down. A.L. got out of the stroller by herself and stood looking at her mother. When a sheriff’s deputy arrived, mother was again pushing the child in a stroller, and told the deputy to get away from her. The deputy tried to talk to mother but she cursed, was aggressive, and refused to listen.
