Disposition

• The Court of Appeals summarily affirmed the district court’s order terminating Mother’s parental rights to the child (para 4).

Reasons

• The Court of Appeals, consisting of Judges Linda M. Vanzi, Julie J. Vargas, and Jacqueline R. Medina, considered and rejected the respondent-appellant's memorandum in opposition. The court held that the appellant's arguments did not present any new facts, law, or arguments that would persuade the court to alter its proposed disposition. The court emphasized that it does not reweigh evidence on appeal and noted that reassignment to a non-summary calendar for further review of the appellant's performance under the treatment plan was unnecessary and would not serve any purpose other than to allow for an exhaustive search for possible error. The decision to affirm the termination of parental rights was based on the standard of review and the reasons stated in the court's notice of proposed disposition (paras 1-4).
