2009 OK CIV APP 21

In the Matter of the ADOPTION OF BABY W. Robert Ravitz, Oklahoma County Public Defender, Appellant, v. E.C. and S.C., Prospective Parents/Appellees.

Court of Civil Appeals of Oklahoma, Division No. 2.

February 2, 2009.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Christopher W. Venters, Assistant Public Defender, Oklahoma County Public Defender, Oklahoma City, OK, for Appellant.

Julie A. Demastus, Oklahoma City, OK, for Appellees.

JOHN F. FISCHER, Judge.

¶ 1 Appellant Oklahoma County Public Defender seeks review of an order of the district court denying his motion to vacate Appellees' (Parents') voluntary dismissal of their petition for adoption. Based on our review of the record and applicable law, we dismiss the appeal because Public Defender lacks standing to appeal the challenged order. We, nonetheless, hold that Parents' voluntary dismissal must be vacated.
