2016Forfeiture The Attorney General argues this case is similar to People v. McWhorter (2009) 47 Cal.4th 318 (McWhorter), in which the defense counsel requested the defendant be unshackled, but “thereafter acquiesced in the remedy selected by the trial court―removal of the visible waist chains―and made no further objection, thereby waiving any claim on appeal with respect to the absence of further inquiry into the manifest need for the concealed leg restraints.” (Id. at p. 375.)

2022VI, § 13; Watson, supra, 46 Cal.2d at p. 836 .) The Agency contends the most reasonable approach is the “reason to believe” standard set forth in Dezi C., where there is prejudicial error only if the juvenile court record or any new evidence proffered on appeal “suggest[s] a reason to believe that the child may be an ‘Indian child’ within the meaning of ICWA, such that the absence of further inquiry was prejudicial to the juvenile court’s ICWA finding.” (Dezi C., supra, 79 Cal.App.5th at p. 779.) Father argues this standard improperly places the burden on the appealing parent to make a record

2022(People v. Watson (1956) 46 Cal.2d 818, 836 ; Dezi C., at p. 777.) We agree with the Dezi C. court that the proper application of our state’s test for harmless error in this context is that “an agency’s failure to conduct a proper initial inquiry into a dependent child’s American Indian heritage is harmless unless the record contains information suggesting a reason to believe that the child may be an ‘Indian child’ within the meaning of ICWA, such that the absence of further inquiry was prejudicial to the juvenile court’s ICWA finding.
