#### MADDOX v. THORNTON.

[2 Cranch, C. C. 260.]1

Circuit Court, District of Columbia.

Oct. Term, 1821.

#### Protest 27745-K of Siegfried *&*Co. (Seattle).

Opinion by

Kincheloe, J.

From the testimony it was shown that the imported articles are pasted at the seam; that the end panels are open and that they have the shape of a box or carton, but in their imported condition are incapable of the ordinary use of a box as a container. On the authority of *Coty*v. *United States*(T. D. 43030), the merchandise represented by items 117 and 118 on the invoice covered by entry 2488 was held dutiable at 30 percent under paragraph 1413 as “cardboard * * * cut or shaped for boxes or other articles, plain or printed, but not lithographed, and' not specially provided for.” The protest was overruled in all other respects.
No. 57564.

#### Browne Vintners Co., Inc., et al. *v.*United States,

protests 197647-K, etc. (New York).

Opinion by

Johnson, J.

At the trial it was stipulated that the facts and issues herein are similar in all material respects to those involved in *United States*v. *Browne Vintners Co.. Inc.*(34 C. C. P. A. 112, C. A. D. 351) and that the *273quantities reported by the inspector as manifested, not found, not landed, not found, were not in fact received by the importers. In accordance with stipulation of counsel and following the decision cited it was held that duty and internal revenue tax are not assessable upon such portions of t,he merchandise as were reported by the inspector as not manifested, not found, not landed, not found. The protests were sustained to this extent.

CONDITIONALLY REVERS E the Wayne Circuit Court, Fa mily Division’s termination of the respondent’s parental rights, and RE MAND this case to the circuit court for resolution of the notice requirements of th e Indian Child Welfar e Act (ICWA), 25 USC

1901 et seq . On remand, the circuit court shall firs t ensure that notice is properly made to the appropriate entities. If the circuit court conclusively determines that ICWA does not apply to the child protective proceeding—becau se the children are not Indian children or because the properly noticed tribe does not timely respon d—the circuit court’s order terminating the respondent’s parental rights sh all be reinstated. If, however, the circuit court concludes that ICWA does apply to the child protective pr oceeding, the circuit court’s order terminating the respondent’s parental rights must be vacated and all proceedings must begin anew in accord with the procedural and substantive requirements

of ICWA.

We do not retain jurisdiction.
