Matched Legal Cases: ['§ 13', '§ 18', '§ 18', '§ 18', '§ 19', '§ 19', '§ 19', '§ 19']

2018 CO 31. No. 16S970. People in Interest of R.S.
The Supreme Court concluded that, with limited exceptions not relevant here, section 19-1-109(1) of the Colorado Children’s Code authorizes appeals in dependency or neglect proceedings from “any order” that qualifies as a “final judgment” for purposes of CRS § 13-4-102(1). Because the trial court’s order dismissing father from the petition was not a “final judgment,” the Court concluded that the Court of Appeals lacked jurisdiction and properly dismissed the Department of Human Services’ appeal.
2018 CO 32. No. 15SC326. People v. Rediger.
This case required the Supreme Court to decide two questions: (1) whether the owner–director of a nonprofit school regulated by various governmental entities is a “public employee” within the meaning of CRS § 18-9-110(1), and (2) whether respondent waived or invited error with respect to a constructive amendment claim when his defense counsel stated that he was “satisfied” with the proposed jury instructions, notwithstanding the fact that the elemental instruction on the charge of interference with the staff, faculty, or students of an educational institution tracked CRS § 18-9-109(1)(b) rather than CRS § 18-9-109(2), which was the subsection charged in the information.
2018 CO 33. No. 16SC313. People v. Smith.
2018 CO 34. No. 16SC287. People in Interest of L.M.
Children’s Code—Dependency and Neglect—Relinquishment—Termination of Parental Rights—CRS § 19-3-602—CRS § 19-5-105.
This case required the Supreme Court to determine whether the State may seek to terminate a parent’s parental rights under the relinquishment provision of the Colorado Children’s Code, CRS § 19-5-105, when the child is already subject to a dependency and neglect proceeding under Article 3 of the Code, CRS §§ 19-3-100.5 to -805.
