The Confidential Guardianship Status Report has not been submitted. No response to the Order to Show Cause has been filed.
Additionally, this matter is on calendar for further proceedings on a Petition for Termination of Guardianship filed by the mother, Jamie Gutzman. A new Notice of Hearing has not been filed and served for today’s date. There is no valid proof of service of the Notice of Hearing and Petition for the minor, guardian, father, maternal grandmother, paternal grandfather, or siblings.

The Court has reviewed the Children’s Services report filed on May 14, 2026, which recommends granting the Petition.
