Supreme Court of Idaho, Boise, February 2009 Term.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Wiebe & Fouser, Canyon County Public Defender, Caldwell, for appellant.

Hon. Lawrence G. Wasden, Attorney General, Boise, for respondent.

This is an expedited appeal directly from that order. We conclude that the record contains substantial and competent evidence supporting the trial court's findings of abandonment and we therefore affirm.
