Michelle A. (mother) petitions for extraordinary relief pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 8.452. She seeks review of the juvenile court’s order terminating her reunification services at the 18-month review hearing. She argues that the order is defective because the juvenile court did not comply with the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. § 1900 et seq.) (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 224.2, subd. (b)). Although the juvenile court and Department may have committed error under ICWA, their noncompliance was harmless because there is no “reason to believe” that the further inquiry mother identifies would lead to a different result.
