Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Carroll County, Joseph B. McCarville, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., and Chicchelly and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (6 pages)
A father appeals the termination of his parental rights to his child. OPINION HOLDS: We do not rule on the father’s claim about the denial of his motion to continue the termination hearing as the record does not show the motion or the ruling on it. Because the State proved the grounds for termination under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(f) (2022) and termination is in the child’s best interest, we affirm.
