California Court of Appeal

Termination of reunification services and scheduling a hearing to select a permanent plan for the child, without providing notice to a tribe as required by the Indian Child Welfare Act, is vacated as the juvenile court's orders were based on different standards than should have been applied if ICWA notice was provided and showed the child is an Indian child.
