Kenneth D., In re (2024) S276649 S276649; filed August 19, 2024. ![[Files/CaseFiles/S276649.PDF]] [Opinion PDF](https://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/archive/S276649.PDF) ## Rule excerpts Supreme Court opinion, August 19, 2024, reversing the Court of Appeal. Postjudgment ICWA inquiry evidence; printed page 22 (PDF page 23). > We emphasize the narrowness of our holding. Where the juvenile court finds that ICWA does not apply based on an inadequate inquiry into a child’s native heritage, an appellate court, absent exceptional circumstances, may not consider evidence uncovered during a postjudgment inquiry to conclude the failure to conduct a proper inquiry was harmless. — Kenneth D., In re (2024) S276649, slip op., p. 22.
