In re Corey R.
A father appeals from an order terminating his parental rights. He asserts the juvenile court erred by not placing his son with a paternal aunt and by failing to ensure that proper notice of this proceeding was provided under the Indian Child Welfare Act, 25 U.S.C. section 1901, et seq. (ICWA). Assuming for arguments sake that the father has standing to challenge the relative placement issue, his substantive argument lacks merit. However, the notice provided was inadequate under the ICWA. Court therefore reverse and remand the action for the limited purpose of effectuating proper notice.
