In Re Ken'Bria B.

Syllabus

This appeal concerns termination of a father's parental rights. The Tennessee Department of Children's Services (\DCS\) filed a petition in the Juvenile Court for Shelby County (\the Juvenile Court\) seeking to terminate the parental rights of Kenneth F. (\Father\) to his minor child Ken'bria B. (\the Child\). After a trial, the Juvenile Court entered an order terminating Father's parental rights to the Child. Father timely appealed to this Court. On appeal, Father argues, among other things, that he has an upcoming opportunity for parole and, therefore, the ground of incarceration for ten years or longer when the child is less than eight years of age should not apply. We affirm the judgment of the Juvenile Court.

Judges: Chief Judge D. Michael Swiney
