Order summarily denying mother’s W&IC 388 petition and FL order reinstating outdated CuVi plan reversed where juv. court had the power to revisit custody on remand and determine C's best interests.

Because it was unclear whether juvenile court could enforce continuing jurisdiction after C's placement with F in Peru, remand required to determine enforceability of court's jurisdiction and ability to maintain it.

Trial court erred in using nonfinal Court of Appeal opinion to alter procedures and influence outcome of case by granting C's W&IC 388 petition and ordering her detained — court should proceed solely on its continuing jurisdiction.
