   PER CURIAM

The state concedes that it was error to find mother in default and to enter a judgment terminating her parental rights at the conclusion of a show cause hearing at which her attorney appeared and requested a trial date. The notice to mother was ambiguous regarding the nature of the hearing and the consequences of her failure to appear personally. Therefore, we accept the state’s concession.

Reversed and remanded.
