*        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.

                                             2.
