Juveniles
TPR; collateral attacks

Richard C., Jr. appeals from an order terminating his parental rights to Richard C. III (Ricky). Richard contends that the court lost competency to proceed when a court commissioner set the dispositional hearing on the underlying adjudication of Ricky as a child in need of protection or services beyond the statutory thirty-day time limit. Richard also contends that the TPR proceeding was tainted by improper references to termination and adoption in front of the jury. We hold that Richard's challenge to the CHIPS disposition is an improper collateral attack and that his request for discretionary reversal should be denied. We therefore affirm the order of the circuit court. This opinion will not be published.
