In re T.O.
Travis E. appeals from the juvenile court's order setting a Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26[1] permanency planning hearing and the court's subsequent orders denying his section 388 petition and terminating his parental rights.[2] He contends the Alameda County Social Services Agency (Agency) failed to provide him notice of the hearing that resulted in the setting of the permanency planning hearing, and his absence from that hearing prevented him from elevating his status to presumed father. He contends the juvenile court erred in denying his section 388 petition seeking presumed father status and reunification services. He also contends the Agency violated the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.). We affirm the juvenile court's orders but remand the case for compliance with ICWA inquiry and notice requirements.
