In Re: Dae'Jrien T.

Syllabus

This is an appeal from a final decree of adoption following the entry of an order terminating the parental rights of the appellant to her minor child. The only notice of appeal filed by the appellant within the time provided by Tennessee Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a) for the filing of a notice of appeal did not comply with Tennessee Code Annotated § 36-1-124(d), which states: \Any notice of appeal filed in a termination of parental rights action shall be signed by the appellant.\ Because this notice of appeal was insufficient to invoke the jurisdiction of this Court, this appeal is dismissed.

Judges: Per Curiam
