In re Z.G. CA2/6
Paul G. (Father) appeals from two postjudgment orders: (1) a June 22, 2016 order denying two requests for a change in his son’s foster placement (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 388) ; and (2) a June 29, 2016 order selecting tribal customary adoption as the permanent plan and the current foster parents as the prospective adoptive parents (§ 366.26). He contends the trial court did not comply with the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) adoptive placement preferences. (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.)
We affirm the June 22 order denying a change in foster placement because the placement complies with ICWA’s foster placement preferences. We dismiss the appeal from the June 29 order as moot because the tribe did not file a tribal adoption order and the court set the matter for hearing to select a new permanent plan. (§ 366.24, subd. (c)(6); Code Civ. Proc., § 909; Evid. Code, § 459.)
