Termination of Parental Rights

82.13.b Appeal-Timeliness of Notice 7B-1001(b)

In Re S.P., COA06-1082, Katherine Chester for appellant-mother
Notice of Appeal filed late but brief should serve as Petition for Writ of Certiorari since no motion to dismiss has been filed. (Pre-10/1/05 case)
COA Opinion

In Re J.L., COA06-1144, Richard Jester for appellant-mother
The appeal should not be dismissed as untimely because a notice of appeal that is filed before the final written order is entered is still a valid notice of appeal. (Pre-10/1/05 case)
