IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION ONE

In re K.H., a Person Coming Under B322384 the Juvenile Court Law. (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. 18CCJP08255)

LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

APRIL H.,

Objector and Appellant.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Ashley Price, Judge Pro Tempore. Affirmed. Maryann M. Goode, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Objector and Appellant.

Dawyn R. Harrison, County Counsel, Kim Nemoy, Assistant County Counsel, Kelly G. Emling, Deputy County Counsel, for Plaintiff and Respondent. ___________________________________ In these dependency proceedings April H. (mother), appeals from a juvenile court’s visitation order, contending the court abused its discretion by denying her last-minute request for a continuance and in instituting an unclear visitation scheme. We affirm. BACKGROUND Because mother’s only contentions on appeal pertain to procedural issues, we will limit the presentation of facts. The family consists of mother, April H. (father, who is not party to this appeal), the minor K.H., and her six siblings, five of whom are subjects of this appeal (collectively Minors B through G). On June 26, 2019, the juvenile sustained a Welfare and 1 Institutions Code section 300 petition, finding Minors B through G were at substantial risk of serious physical injury because (1) the parents inappropriately physically disciplined them and mother told them not to disclose the abuse, (2) mother had a history of substance abuse and failed to protect the children while under the influence, (3) the parents failed to provide the children with basic necessities, including medical care, and (4) the parents failed to protect the children from sexual abuse by a cousin and told the children not to speak about the abuse.
