Michigan COA, on Remand from Mich. SCT, Decides ICWA Notice Case

Matthew L.M. Fletcher

Here is that opinion. An excerpt:

This termination of parental rights case returns to this Court on remand from the Supreme Court “for reconsideration of the respondent father’s appeal in light of the confession of error by petitioner Department of Human Services regarding the failure of it and the Wayne Circuit Court, Family Division, to comply with the notice requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), 25 USC 1901 et seq.” In re C I Morris, ___ Mich ___; 796 NW2d 51 (Docket No. 142759, decided April 22, 2011). We readopt our original opinion and conditionally affirm the circuit court, but we remand this case with regard to both respondents for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

Here is the Supreme Court’s remand order.
