Arizona Supreme Court

Roberto F., Appellant v. Department of Child Safety, Jimmy S., Tracie H., L.f., I.a., Appellees

July 9, 2015237 Ariz. 440

Summary

The court held that Arizona Rule of Procedure for the Juvenile Court 103(F) restricts the juvenile court only with respect to issues in the particular case on appeal, not separate but related adoption proceedings. Because the adoption case was not the subject of the pending appeal, the juvenile court had authority to enter the adoption order. The court vacated the court of appeals' opinion and remanded for consideration of whether the adoption should nevertheless be set aside under Rule 85(A).
