Syllabus

In permanent custody proceedings, Appellant waived error regarding appointment of legal counsel by failing to either request a continuance or object to any alleged error during the trial court proceedings. Further, under a plain error standard, no extraordinary circumstances existed to require reversal. Counsel was appointed well in advance of the permanent custody hearing and Appellant failed to show how she was prejudiced. The trial court also did not err in finding that an award of permanent custody was in the child's best interests. The court's decision was supported by clear and convincing evidence. Affirmed.
