IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FIFTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

In re S.O., Persons Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law.

TUOLUMNE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF F072544 SOCIAL SERVICES, (Super. Ct. Nos. JV7385, JV7387, Plaintiff and Respondent, JV7388)

v. OPINION S.O., Defendant and Appellant.

THE COURT* APPEAL from orders of the Superior Court of Tuolumne County. Donald Segerstrom, Judge. Carol A. Koenig, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. Sarah Carrillo, County Counsel, and Cody M. Nesper, Deputy County Counsel, for Plaintiff and Respondent. -ooOoo- * Before Hill, P.J., Levy, J. and Peña, J. In a juvenile dependency proceeding, S.O. (mother) appeals from orders, entered on September 29, 2015, that terminated the dependencies of three of her children, S.L.O., D.H., and S.H., awarded physical custody to their father, T.H., and ordered once-a-month supervised visitation with mother. Mother’s only contention is that the juvenile court erred, at the time of the 12-month review hearing, by failing to proceed as if the children were Indian children pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 5.482(c). By a separate opinion filed on June 13, 2016, which addressed mother’s appeal from the orders entered at the 12-month review hearing, we rejected the same contention she now raises, concluding that she forfeited the issue by failing to raise it below. (In re S.O. et al. (Jun. 13, 2016, F071404) [nonpub. opn.].) Consequently, her current challenge is now moot. (In re Audrey D. (1979) 100 Cal.App.3d 34, 39.) Accordingly, the appeal from the court’s September 29, 2015, orders is dismissed as moot. DISPOSITION The appeal is dismissed.
