Syllabus

In this permanent custody action, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the incarcerated father's continuance request. The denial was reasonable and supported by the record. The permanent custody trial already had been repeatedly continued, father was represented at trial by counsel, a full record of the trial was made, and father did not show that he could not have presented any relevant testimony by deposition. Further, father fails to show that a continuance likely would have changed the trial court's decision to award permanent custody of the child to Franklin County Children Services. Judgment affirmed.
