Juveniles – TPR – default — motions to reopen

This is a continuation of Ricky V.’s appeal of the order terminating his parental rights to his daughter Liliana V. The order terminating Ricky V.’s parental rights was entered on Ricky V.’s default as a result of his twice not appearing for the termination-of-parental-rights evidentiary hearing under Wis. Stat. § 48.424. Retaining jurisdiction, we remanded this matter to the circuit court on Ricky V.’s request for an evidentiary hearing on whether there was “good cause” to reopen his default. The circuit court determined that there was not. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
