Here is the opinion in In re E.W., from the California Court of Appeal, 4th District, Division 2. An exerpt:
Appellant V.P. (Mother) is the mother of E.W. and P.W. Mother appeals from the juvenile court’s order terminating her parental rights at a hearing held under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26 held on May 13, 2008.1 Mother makes a three-fold challenge under the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA): 1) DPSS did not provide proper notice to the Indian tribes; 2) DPSS did not receive responses from all of the noticed tribes or from the BIA; and 3) the juvenile court did not make a finding that ICWA did not apply. As discussed below, we find that any error was not prejudicial and so affirm the court’s orders.
