In reTrent V.
The mother, appeals from the orders terminating her parental rights to the child. pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26 and finding that there had been proper compliance with the notice requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act. (25 U.S.C. SS 1901 - 1963.) On January 19, 2006, court reversed the juvenile court's June 29, 2005 parental rights termination order and remanded the matter for the sole purpose of complying with the notice provisions of the Indian Child Welfare Act. (In re Trent V. (Jan. 19, 2006, B184197) [nonpub. opn.].) Court further ordered, "If after proper notice is given, the child is determined not to be a Native American, the juvenile court is directed to reinstate the parental rights termination order." (Id. [typed opn. at p. 8].)
On appeal, the mother claims the termination order should be reversed a second time because the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services ("the department") failed to provide proper notice as required by the Indian Child Welfare Act. Court agree with the department and reverse the parental rights termination order solely for purposes of complying with the Indian Child Welfare Act.
