In re J.S. CA2/4
Opinion
Opinion
INTRODUCTION
J.R. (mother) and J.S. (father) challenge the order terminating their parental rights under Welfare and Institutions1 Code section 366.26 with respect to their youngest child, J.S. Their sole contention is that the order must be reversed because the juvenile court and the Department of Children and Family Services (Department) failed to comply with the initial inquiry requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.) (ICWA). Finding any ICWA errors harmless, we affirm. We resolve this case by memorandum opinion. (Cal. Stds. Jud. Admin., § 8.1.) The parties are familiar with the facts and procedural history of the case, so we do not fully restate those details here. (People v. Garcia (2002) 97 Cal.App.4th 847, 851 [unpublished opinion merely reviewing correctness of juvenile court’s decision “does not merit extensive factual or legal statement”].) Instead, in the Discussion section below, we discuss the facts and procedural background as needed to provide context for and resolve the issues presented in this appeal.
DISCUSSION
I. The Department has not shown this appeal must be
dismissed as unauthorized.
