2005We disagree. *276 Because "`persons faced with forced dissolution of their parental rights have a more critical need for procedural protections than do those resisting state intervention into ongoing family affairs[,]'" this Court has previously held that "`[w]hen the State moves to destroy weakened familial bonds, it must provide the parents with fundamentally fair procedures,' which meet the rigors of the due process clause."

2023Opinion of the Court weakened familial bonds, it must provide the parents with fundamentally fair procedures, which meet the rigors of the due process clause.” In re Murphy, 105 N.C.

2022Even assuming, without deciding, that the trial court erred in denying respondent’s motion, respondent cannot prevail on appeal because he cannot show that he was prejudiced by such an error.1 ¶ 44 “ ‘When the State moves to destroy weakened familial bonds, it must provide the parents with fundamentally fair procedures,’ which meet the rigors of the due process clause.” In re Murphy, 105 N.C.

2024Accordingly, when a due process claim is raised regarding an identification procedure, the reviewing court must utilize a two-step test to determine “whether the identification procedure was so suggestive as to create a substantial likelihood of irreparable misidentification.” Id. (quoting Fowler, 353 N.C. at 617 ).

2019The initial inquiry in which a reviewing court is required to engage in conducting such a due process inquiry is “whether the identification procedure was so suggestive as to create a substantial likelihood of irreparable misidentification.” State v.
