The People of the State of Colorado, in the Interest of Minor Child: E.b., and E.b. v. R.b.

Summary

The court held that Father’s due process challenge to the denial of a continuance failed because he did not show actual prejudice from being unable to attend the virtual termination hearing. Although the court assumed without deciding that denying the continuance could have violated due process, the record did not indicate that Father’s testimony or other evidence would have affected the termination decision. The court reversed the court of appeals, vacated its opinion, and remanded for further proceedings.
