In re James V.
Appellant, the father of the minor, appeals from an order of the juvenile court terminating his parental rights. (Welf. & Inst. Code, SS 366.26, 395; further undesignated statutory references are to the Welfare and Institutions Code.) Appellant contends the juvenile court abused its discretion in denying his petition for modification (S 388). Appellant also claims the court and Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) violated notice requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA). (25 U.S.C. S 1901 et seq.) DHHS concedes ICWA notice requirements were not met. Court reverse conditionally and remand for proper notice only.
