That opinion ordered Respondent, the Honorable Carole W. Clark, Judge of the 321st Judicial District Court, Smith County, Texas, to vacate her September 25, 2007 order denying Tieri’s motion to dismiss and for costs under the UCCJEA and to issue an order granting the motion, dismissing the suit affecting the parent-child relationship, and relinquishing jurisdiction under the UCCJEA to the State of New Jersey.
