In the Interest of W.D.

ANDREASEN, Justice.

K.W., mother of two children, appeals a juvenile court order directing the State to file a petition to terminate her parental rights. The question before us is whether this is a final ruling appealable as a matter of right or an appeal from an interlocutory ruling, for which permission to appeal must be granted pursuant to Iowa Rules of Appellate Procedure 1(c) and 2. We conclude such an order is not a final, appealable judgment. We also decline to grant interlocutory appeal. Therefore, we dismiss the appeal.
