Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Sep 6, 2024
IN THE INTEREST OF: P.S.A., a minor child under seventeen years of age, GREENE COUNTY JUVENILE OFFICE, Respondent v. C.R.A., Appellant
Father appealed the termination of his parental rights to his child, P.S.A., arguing the trial court erred by adopting the juvenile office's proposed judgment verbatim. The appellate court noted that Father failed to preserve this claim by not raising it in a post-trial motion, thus limiting review to plain error. Finding no facial showing of manifest injustice or miscarriage of justice, the court declined plain error review. The judgment terminating parental rights was affirmed.
