1Opinion of the Court

THIBODEAUX, Chief Judge.

hln this termination of parental rights case, J.J.B., Jr. argues that the trial court erred by refusing to grant a continuance of the termination hearing. J.J.B., Jr.’s criminal trial was scheduled for the same week as the termination hearing. Nevertheless, the trial court received assurances from the division of the court involved in the criminal matter that it would be highly unlikely for J.J.B., Jr.’s criminal trial to occur the same week as his termination hearing. For the following reasons, we find no error in the trial court’s refusal to grant the continuance.
