State ex rel. Juvenile Department v. Fowler

Father appeals from a February 4, 1988, judgment terminating his parental rights. Although a formal notice of appeal was never filed in the juvenile court, within 30 days after the court’s judgment father filed an affidavit of indigency in the juvenile court and requested that counsel be appointed for appeal. That constitutes a timely informal notice of appeal pursuant to ORS 419.561(3). See State ex rel Juv. Dept. v. Hardy, 93 Or App 584, 763 P2d 406 (1988).

Jurisdiction confirmed.
