Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Cynthia S. Finley, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Doyle, P.J., Schumacher, J., and Danilson, S.J. Opinion by Danilson, S.J. (5 pages)
A father appeals the juvenile court order terminating his parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: We find there is sufficient evidence in the record to support termination of the father’s parental rights, termination is in the child’s best interests, and extending this case for an additional six months is not warranted. We affirm the decision of the juvenile court.
