Supreme Court of North Carolina

In re A.M.C. and N.A.G.

July 15, 2022

Summary

The Supreme Court of North Carolina affirmed the trial court’s order terminating the mother’s parental rights, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying a continuance of the termination hearing and that there was no ineffective‑assistance claim. The court applied an abuse‑of‑discretion standard and found no extraordinary circumstances warranting a continuance.
