Task: Wrong Candidate Generation
Input (English): is in Arteria H.’s best interest. Instead, Father asserts that his parental rights should not be terminated because DCS did not make reasonable efforts to place Arteria H. with a relative and because of ineffective assistance of counsel in the Juvenile Court proceeding. After reviewing his brief, it is clear to this Court that all of Father’s allegations of error involve the alleged lack of reasonable efforts on the part of DCS or errors which occurred during the dependency and neglect proceeding. However, the two grounds upon which Father’s parental rights were terminated, do not require reasonable efforts on the part of DCS or require a previous finding of dependency and neglect. See e.g., In re C.A.H., No. M2009-00769-COA-R3-PT, 2009 WL 5064953, at *4 (Tenn.Ct.App. Dec. 22, 2009)(<HOLDING>); In re G.L.T., No. M2008-00582-COA-R3-PT, 2008
