Annotations: An order entered pursuant to this section referring the matter to the State for filing of a petition to terminate parental rights is not a final, appealable order. In re Interest of Anthony R. et al., 264 Neb. 699, 651 N.W.2d 231 (2002). Failure of the juvenile court to conduct an exception hearing pursuant to this section does not deny a parent due process of law.
