Syllabus

Complaint for temporary custody motion to dismiss complaint R.C. 2151.35(B)(1) motion for continuance Juv.R. 23 due process. Mother did not show that she was denied due process or that the juvenile court abused its discretion in overruling her objections to magistrate's decision denying her motion for continuance and in failing to dismiss the agency's complaint for temporary custody based on her claim that a prepared attorney was not available to represent Mother at the adjudicatory and dispositional hearings. Mother did not challenge the juvenile court's determinations with respect to adjudication or disposition of her children. The record reflected that Mother's counsel competently represented her at the adjudicatory and dispositional hearings, and there was no indication in the record that Mother would have offered additional or different evidence or made additional or different arguments if another more prepared attorney had been defending Mother at the hearings.
