Syllabus

Plain error; Juv.R. 40(D)(3)(b)(iv); adjudication; disposition; R.C. 2151.35(A)(1); R.C. 2151.353(A)(2)(a); temporary custody. Judgment affirmed. Mother waived any arguments regarding the juvenile court's dependency finding and fails to argue that the juvenile court plainly erred in adjudicating L.H. dependent on appeal. Accordingly, her challenge to the juvenile court's adjudication of L.H. is overruled. Moreover, Mother did not object to the magistrate's decision recommending temporary custody be granted to the Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services (\CCDCFS\) and does not argue on appeal that the juvenile court's adoption of that recommendation amounted to plain error. However, even if Mother's challenge to the trial court's temporary custody determination were properly raised, we decline to find that the trial court plainly erred in granting temporary custody to CCDCFS.
