In Re EW

726 A.2d 58 (1999)

In re E.W.

No. 98-414.

Supreme Court of Vermont.

January 25, 1999.

Present AMESTOY, C.J., DOOLEY, MORSE, SKOGLUND, JJ., and ERNEST W. GIBSON, J. (Ret.) Specially Assigned.

ENTRY ORDER

The issue in this appeal is whether the family court abused its discretion by excluding appellant as a party in a termination-of-parental-rights (TPR) proceeding involving a three-year-old girl and her mother, with whom appellant had lived for a period of time. We conclude that the court acted within its discretion, and thus affirm its order denying appellant party status in the TPR proceeding.
