In re David L.
Dorian L., father of David L., appeals from the termination of his parental rights. He claims the Orange County Social Services Agency (SSA) failed to give him proper notice of the hearing pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26,[1]thus depriving him of due process. He also claims the juvenile court had insufficient evidence on which to base its finding that the Indian Child Welfare Act (25 U.S.C.A., 1901 et seq.) (ICWA) did not apply. While we find the father was not deprived of due process, we agree the ICWA finding was not based on sufficient evidence. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for the limited purpose of ICWA compliance.
