IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION FOUR

In re K.C., a Person Coming B327931 Under the Juvenile Court Law. (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. Nos. 21CCJP03112, 21CCJP03112C ) LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES,

Plaintiff and Respondent,

v.

C.J.,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Charles Q. Clay III, Judge. Affirmed.

Paul Couenhoven, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. Dawyn R. Harrison, County Counsel, Kim Nemoy, Assistant County Counsel, Melania Vartanian, Deputy County Counsel, for Plaintiff and Respondent.

MEMORANDUM OPINION1 Appellant C.J. (mother) appeals the juvenile court’s finding of jurisdiction over K., born in February 2015, on the basis of medical neglect. We find no error and affirm. K. has activated P13K-delta syndrome, an immune system disorder. She had a bone marrow transplant in November 2020, and was discharged from the hospital in February 2021. K. developed graft versus host disease (GVHD), a condition in which donor cells attack the transplant recipient’s cells. K.’s GVHD affected her skin. According to K.’s medical providers, skin-based GVHD “causes skin to be bound to the tissues below, as a result mobility and range or motion are limited. If not treated properly it can progress to complete immobility and impact the mouth, eyes, vaginal mucosa and other organs.” K. was admitted to the hospital from April 6 to 16, 2022 for management of her GVHD.

1 We resolve this case by memorandum opinion. (Cal. Stds. Jud. Admin., § 8.1.) We do not recite the factual and procedural background because our opinion is unpublished and the parties are familiar with the facts of the case and its procedural history. (People v. Garcia (2002) 97 Cal.App.4th 847, 851 [unpublished opinion merely reviewing correctness of trial court’s decision “does not merit extensive factual or legal statement”].)
