IMO: Elizabeth Spangler, A person with an alleged disability

Summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal from a guardianship proceeding because the appellant did not respond to the notice to show cause, making dismissal unopposed, and did not timely file exceptions to the Magistrate’s final report. The Court held that the failure to file exceptions meant that issues concerning the report were not preserved for appellate review. The Court did not separately resolve whether the absence of an adopting order deprived it of jurisdiction.
