OPINION
HUDSON, Judge.
On appeal, appellant-guardian ad litem contends that the juvenile court erred in granting respondent-tribe’s motion to transfer this preadoptive-placement proceeding to tribal court. Although the transfer-of-jurisdiction provisions of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) and the Minnesota Indian Family Preservation Act (MIFPA) do not authorize or prohibit the transfer of this preadoptive-placement proceeding to tribal court, Minnesota Rule of Juvenile Protection Procedure 48.01, subdivision 3, specifically permits such a transfer. We therefore affirm.
