In re Jerome D.
Minor Jerome D.[1] appeals from an April 2010 order of the juvenile court after a contested dispositional hearing. The minor argues the juvenile court failed to comply with the inquiry and notice requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.; hereafter ICWA), failed to determine whether he had any special educational needs, and failed to calculate his custody credits properly. (The minor originally had also argued there was an abuse of discretion in committing him to an Iowa facility rather than the home of a relative in Ohio. In accordance with his subsequent request, we will disregard this claim.) We affirm.
We omit the jurisdictional facts relating to the minor’s offenses and violations of probation, because they are not relevant to the arguments on appeal. We will incorporate the facts pertinent to each of the minor’s claims in the Discussion, post.
