Katie v. V. Superior Court of San Diego County

Katie V., R.V.s mother, seeks extraordinary writ review (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26, subd., (l); Cal. Rules of Court, rule 38.1) challenging the juvenile courts order terminating reunification services at the 18-month review hearing and setting a section 366.26 permanency planning hearing. Katie contends she was not offered reasonable reunification services and the court erred by applying a preponderance of the evidence standard of proof instead of requiring clear and convincing evidence.
