In re GIANNA I. et al., Persons Coming
Under the Juvenile Court Law.
                                                                 D068548
SAN DIEGO COUNTY HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY,

         Plaintiff and Respondent,

         v.

E.C.,

         Defendant and Appellant.


         APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of San Diego County, Edlene C.

McKenzie, Judge. Reversed and remanded with directions.



         Lelah S. Fisher, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and

Appellant.

         Thomas E. Montgomery, County Counsel, John E. Philips, Chief Deputy County

Counsel, and Daniela Davidian, Deputy County Counsel, for Plaintiff and Respondent.
      Presumed father E.C. appeals the termination of his parental rights to children

Gianna I., G.I.C. and G.M.C. (together, the children). E.C. contends judgment must be

reversed and the case remanded to ensure proper notice pursuant to the Indian Child

Welfare Act (ICWA; 25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.). Plaintiff San Diego County Health and

Human Services Agency (the Agency) properly concedes the point.

      In June 2012, the Agency filed dependency petitions for Gianna and G.I.C. Their

mother, Michelle I., said she had Chumash Indian ancestry. In July, the Agency sent

notice by certified mail to the Santa Ynez Band of Mission Indians (also called the Santa

Ynez Band of Chumash Indians), the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the Secretary of

the Interior.1 In August, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians responded, saying

Gianna and G.I.C. were not enrolled or eligible for enrollment. The court entered true

findings on the petitions and ordered Gianna and G.I.C. placed with E.C. The court

found ICWA did not apply.

      In February 2013, the Agency filed supplemental petitions. The court ordered

Gianna and G.I.C. detained with a relative and confirmed its finding ICWA did not apply.

In April, the court dismissed the supplemental petitions and ordered Gianna and G.I.C.

continue to be placed with E.C. In November, G.M.C. was born. The Agency filed a

petition for her. The court ordered G.M.C. detained with E.C. and found ICWA did not

apply in her case. In December, the court ordered G.M.C. placed with E.C.



1     We grant the Agency's motion to augment the record with copies of the
postmarked certified mail receipts and responses from the BIA and the Santa Ynez Band
of Chumash Indians.
                                            2
       In May 2014, the Agency filed supplemental petitions for the children. The

children were detained in foster care. In July, the court made true findings on the

supplemental petitions and ordered the children placed in foster care. The court found

ICWA notice was not required because ICWA did not apply. At the six-month review

hearing in February 2015, the court set a section 366.26 hearing. In July, the court

terminated parental rights. The court confirmed its previous finding ICWA did not apply.

       We grant the Agency's request for judicial notice of pages one and nine of the

Federally-Recognized Tribes ICWA Contacts For Noticing Purposes (December 2013

and March 2014) <http://www.childsworld.ca.gov/res/pdf/CDSSTribes.pdf>. This

material shows there are two Chumash Tribes, the Santa Ynez Band of Mission Indians

and the Tejon Indian Tribe. The Agency never sent ICWA notice to the latter tribe and

never sent ICWA notice regarding G.M.C. to either tribe.

                                      DISPOSITION

       The judgment is reversed. The case is remanded to the juvenile court with

directions to order the Agency to (1) provide proper ICWA notice and (2) file all required

documentation with the court. If, after proper notice, a tribe claims the children are




                                             3
Indian children, the court shall proceed in conformity with ICWA. If, on the other hand,

no tribe makes such a claim, the court shall reinstate the judgment.
