Custody: Dismissal of petition: Request for hearing
CSA No. 0473, Sept. Term 2013. Unreported.
Opinion by Meredith, J. Filed March 27, 2014.
Appeal from Baltimore City. Affirmed.
RecordFax #14-0327-04, 8 pages.
Although dismissing a child custody petition is not a determination that requires a hearing under Family Law §9.5-205, it is a dispositive motion for which a hearing must be held on request under Rule 2-311(f); however, the appellant in this case failed to show that the lack of a hearing was anything but harmless error.
