IN RE S.T.P.

No. COA09-1281.

689 S.E.2d 223 (2010)

In the Matter of S.T.P.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

February 16, 2010.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kathleen Arundell Widelski, Charlotte, for petitioner-appellee Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services, Youth and Family Services.

Pamela Newell Williams, Raleigh, for appellee Guardian Ad Litem.

Leslie C. Rawls, Charlotte, for respondent-appellant mother.

Janet K. Ledbetter, Hillsborough, for respondent-appellant father.

STEELMAN, Judge.

Closing a case file is not the equivalent of the trial court terminating its jurisdiction. The district court retained subject matter jurisdiction and could act upon the "Motion in the Cause to Reassume Custody." The district court did not abuse its discretion in determining that termination of Mother's parental rights was in juvenile's best interest.
