SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION FIVE

In re A.R. et al., Persons Coming B316686 Under the Juvenile Court Law.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY (Los Angeles County DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN Super. Ct. AND FAMILY SERVICES, Nos. 21CCJP03030B, 21CCJP03030C, Plaintiff and Respondent, 21CCJP03030D,)

v.

M.F.,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from orders of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Martha Matthews, Judge. Affirmed. Liana Serobian, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

Dawyn R. Harrison, Interim County Counsel, Kim Nemoy, Assistant County Counsel, and Jane E. Kwon, Deputy County Counsel, for Plaintiff and Respondent. —————————— Mother appeals the juvenile court’s disposition orders under Welfare and Institutions Code section 361.1 Mother contends that because the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (Department) did not notify maternal relatives that they could seek placement of her four children, the juvenile court’s placement orders were in error. The Department contends that mother has not appealed the placement of her oldest child, M.F., and forfeited the relative placement issue by failing to raise the issue before the trial court.2 We disagree with mother and affirm the orders. The parties are familiar with the facts and our opinion does not meet the criteria for publication. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.1105(c).) We accordingly resolve the cause before us, consistent with constitutional requirements, via a written opinion with reasons stated. (Cal. Const., art. VI, § 14; Lewis v. Superior Court (1999) 19 Cal.4th 1232, 1261–1264 [discussion of issue on appeal need not discuss every fact or legal authority raised by parties].)
