Supreme Court Denies Cert in R.P. v. LA County (Alexandria P. Case)

January 9, 2017Kate Fort2 Comments

Order List here.

16-500 R. P., ET UX. V. LA CTY. DEPT. CHILDREN, ET AL. The motion of respondent The Minor, Alexandria P. for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted. The motion of respondent Father J.E. for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted. The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.

This means the Supreme Court will not be hearing the case.

There are still a few issues in the California courts being litigated, so we will keep an eye on it, but this should (hopefully) be the end of this case.

This is the case out of the California Court of Appeals (California Supreme Court denied review) that garnered a lot of media attention regarding the change in placement of a Choctaw girl in foster care so she could go live with her relatives.
