In context of a juvenile neglect proceeding, Respondent father filed a supplemental petition to reinstate wardship over his minor child, so that Respondent could establish that he was no longer dispositionally unfit as a parent. State and DCFS opposed petition, but GAL supported petition. After hearing, court denied petition. All 3 conditions listed in section 2-33(1) of Juvenile Court Act must be satisfied before a supplemental petition for reinstatement of wardship may be granted. Court properly denied petition, as factual situation failed to satisfy the first listed condition: that wardship and guardianship under the Act were vacated in conjunction with appointment of a private guardian under Probate Act. (O'BRIEN and SCHMIDT, concurring.)
