McPherson v. Ark. Dep't of Human Servs. (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseThe circuit court terminated Appellant's parental rights to her three children. Appellant timely filed a notice of appeal and an amended notice of appeal. However, neither the notice of appeal or the amended notice of appeal contained Appellant's signature. The court of appeals dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because Appellant did not comply with Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 6-9(b)(1)(B). Appellant's counsel filed a motion for belated appeal, asserting that Appellant wished to appeal but lost contact with Appellant after the circuit court entered the termination order. The Supreme Court granted the motion for good cause.
