In re D.F. CA4/1
Philip O. (Father), father of D.F. (Child) appeals from an order following a six-month status review hearing (Order) conducted under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.21, subdivision (e). He contends that the juvenile court erred in two respects: (1) terminating his reunification services; and (2) ruling that further notice pursuant to the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.) was not required. Because the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency, the petitioner in the juvenile court and a party with "an affirmative and continuing duty to inquire whether a child . . . is or may be an Indian child" in a dependency proceeding— acknowledges that the ICWA notices were deficient and stipulates for a limited remand to determine the sufficiency of updated ICWA notice, we will reverse that part of the Order.
