Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Delaware County, Thomas J. Straka, Associate Juvenile Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Mullins and May, JJ. Opinion by Vaitheswaran, P.J. (5 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her child, contending she was denied (1) “her state and federal constitutional rights to due process by the failure to provide a transcript of trial proceedings prior to the filing of this Petition on Appeal”; (2) “reasonable effort services by [the department of human services’] failure to facilitate residential chemical dependency treatment after [she] had been evaluated with a recommendation for such”; and (3) her “request for a 6-month extension to allow her to accomplish residential chemical dependency treatment.” OPINION HOLDS: The juvenile court order granting the State’s petition to terminate the mother’s parental rights is affirmed.
