IN RE S.F.

No. COA08-197.

660 S.E.2d 924 (2008)

In the Matter of S.F.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

June 3, 2008.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Feagan Law Firm, PLLC, by Phillip R. Feagan, Columbus, for Polk County Department of Social Services, petitioner-appellee.

Pamela Newell Williams, Raleigh, for the guardian ad litem-appellee.

Peter Wood, Raleigh, for respondent-appellant.

WYNN, Judge.

"[U]pon the filing of the petition [to terminate parental rights], the court shall cause a summons to be issued" to all those named as respondents, including the juvenile or her court-appointed guardian ad litem.1 Because the record before us contains no evidence that a summons was issued to the juvenile in the instant case, we must vacate the trial court's order for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
