Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Joseph W. Seidlin, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vogel, C.J., and Doyle and Mullins, JJ. Opinion by Doyle, J. (5 pages)
A father appeals the termination of his parental rights to his child. OPINION HOLDS: The father failed to preserve his procedural due process claim for our review. Because clear and convincing evidence supports the finding that the father abandoned or deserted the child, we affirm the termination of his parental rights pursuant to Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(b) (2018).
