Opinion of the Court
Shaw, J. On the authority of the case of In re Kirkman, Estate, 168 Cal. 688, [144 Pac. 745], the order appealed from will be affirmed.
The only difference between that case and this is that in that case the guardian removed was not a parent of the minor while in this case the guardian displaced was her father. This relationship, however, is of no consequence, since the statute gives the minor the authority to select a new guardian, and does not make such power dependent upon relationship. The order of the court appointing the nominated guardian constitutes an approval of her selection, and
The order is affirmed.,
Sloss, J., and Lawlor, J., concurred.
