Court of Appeals of Oregon August 1, 2012, 091014151; A146815 (Catt v. Department of Human Services)

NAKAMOTO, J.

This civil dispute arises from a failure by the Department of Human Services (DHS) to secure permanent legal residency status and, consequently, United States citizenship for plaintiff Blanca Catt while she was in DHS’s legal custody, and from DHS’s false representations to Blanca’s adoptive mother, plaintiff Lisa Catt, regarding Blanca’s citizenship.
