ORDER MODIFYING OPINION
(NO CHANGE IN THE
APPELLATE JUDGMENT)
THE COURT:
The above-entitled opinion filed on March 16, 2022 is modified as follows:
On page 14, the second sentence in the first full paragraph starting with "Because" and ending immediately before footnote 7 is replaced with the following sentence:
Because the Department's duty to inquire of a child's extended family members is imposed by California law, "we may not reverse unless we find that the error was prejudicial."
There is no change in the appellate judgment.
