In re K.C.

Respondent appealed from a trial court order denying her motion for a finding that the Department of Child and Family Services had not made efforts to prevent the removal of respondent’s minor child and to preserve unification of the family. The appellate court did not address the merits of the appeal, however, and dismissed it for lack of jurisdiction. The court explained that no final judgment was entered in the ongoing proceedings and the trial court did not indicate in any of its rulings that its findings were immediately appealable within the meaning of SCR 304(a). (HOWSE and McBRIDE, concurring)
