Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Wright County, Hans Becker, Judge. APPEAL DISMISSED. Considered without oral argument by Schumacher, P.J., and Buller and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Sandy, J. (3 pages)
A petitioner, M.Z., appeals the juvenile court’s dismissal of her petition to establish an involuntary guardianship over two minor children. M.Z. argues the juvenile court’s dismissal was predicated on an incorrect interpretation of Iowa Code section 232D.301(1) (2024). OPINION HOLDS: Because M.Z. failed to serve the minors and minors’ known parents pursuant to Iowa Code Section 232D.302 and Iowa Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.702, our court lacks jurisdiction, and we accordingly dismiss this appeal.
