In re KOBE A.,
Notice to alleged father of proceeding at which his parental rights were terminated was statutorily inadequate where it was sent by first class mail, not registered mail, and did not include a copy of the petition or the Judicial Council notice of rights form required by statute. Denial of statutorily required notice was harmless under any standard where alleged father could not establish presumed father status because he was not married to child's mother, did not attempt to marry her, and could not have taken the child into his home since he was incarcerated just two days after the child was born and remained incarcerated until four months before the hearing.
