IN THE MATTER OF Halifax County
S.L.G., No. 03 J 10
Minor Child.
Halifax County Department of Social Services, by Jeffrey
Jenkins, for petitioner-appellee.
Richard Jester, for respondent-father.
Monique Skinner-Dixon, for Guardian ad Litem.
LEVINSON, Judge.
Respondent-father appeals an order terminating his parental
rights in S.L.G. We affirm.
Respondent first argues that the trial court erred by
considering prior orders based upon hearings held at other times
that refer to hearsay and contain matters proven under a different
standard of proof. This issue was decided by this Court against
respondent in In re S.L.G. and T.L.G., __ N.C. App. __, 626 S.E.2d
876 (2006)(COA05-458 unpublished opinion), and we similarly reject
it in this case.
Father next contends that the trial court erred by making
findings of facts that are not supported by sufficient evidence and
that are simply a recitation of allegations. This issue wasdecided against respondent in S.L.G. and T.L.G., and we similarly
reject it in this case.
Respondent next contends the trial court erred by determining
that grounds existed to terminate his parental rights, and that
termination is in this juvenile's best interests. As respondent
concedes, he raised substantially similar arguments that were
decided against him in In re S.L.G. and T.L.G. We similarly reject
them in this case.
We have evaluated father's remaining assignment of error and
conclude that it is without merit.
Affirmed.
Chief Judge MARTIN and Judge McCULLOUGH concur.
Report per Rule 30(e).
