The following excerpt is from L.A. Cnty. Dep't of Children & Family Servs. v. Jade V. (In re Emily C.), B300997 (Cal. App. 2020):

Mother failed to raise any argument concerning the juvenile court's dispositional findings and orders in her opening brief and therefore forfeited any appellate challenge to those findings and orders. (See Telish v. State Personnel Bd. (2015) 234 Cal.App.4th 1479, 1487, fn. 4 [failure to raise an argument in the opening brief waives the issue on appeal].)

The juvenile court's jurisdictional and dispositional orders are affirmed.
