Nebraska Supreme Court
In re Interest of Johnny H.
January 16, 2026310 Neb. 675
Summary
The court held that the juvenile court properly found Johnny H. was not amenable to rehabilitative services, applying a preponderance-of-the-evidence standard and reviewing the determination de novo on the record for abuse of discretion. The court also held that the juvenile court lacked statutory authority to terminate Johnny’s probation and jurisdiction solely because of that finding, so those dispositional modifications were vacated and remanded. The court concluded that the orders were final and appealable because they substantially and finally changed the dispositions.
