State of Minnesota
v.
Devon Griffin Seivers

No. A22-0054

Supreme Court of Minnesota

April 24, 2024

ORDER ON PETITION FOR FURTHER REVIEW;

Issues:

(1) Whether a child is “found” under Minn. Stat. § 627.15 based on where the child is physically located and physically residing or whether a child's residence for “found” purposes under the statute is strictly where the custodial parent's residence is, and

(2) whether the denial of Mr. Seivers' Brady demand for child protection records was contrary to law and a violation of due process, where the orders directly addressed the issue of venue based on the child's residence and location when the alleged abuse occurred, when it was discovered, and when she was found.
