You are advised that you are required to appear in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego, in Department 12 located at 325 S. Melrose Drive, Suite 130, Vista, California 92081 on Friday, March 16, 2018 at 9:00 a.m., to show cause, if you have any, why STELLA MAE IACOVIELLO minor should not be declared free from parental custody and control (for the purpose of placement for adoption) as requested in the Petition.

You are advised that if the parent(s) are present at the time and place above stated the judge will read the petition and, if requested, may explain the effect of the granting of the petition and, if requested, the judge shall explain any term or allegation contained therein and the nature of the proceeding, its procedures and possible consequences and may continue the matter for not more than 30 days for the appointment of counsel or to give counsel time to prepare.

The court may appoint counsel to represent the minor whether or not the minor is able to afford counsel. If the parent appears and is unable to afford counsel, the court shall appoint counsel to represent each parent who appears unless such representation is knowingly and intelligently waived.

If you wish to seek the advice of an attorney in this matter, you should do so promptly so that your pleading, if any, may be filed on time.
