Try CasePortal for FreePer curiam, the Nebraska Supreme Court finds the district court properly granted the mother some Special Immigrant Juvenile status findings for her child in this marriage dissolution. The couple are Mexican citizens who were married in Mexico and the child was born in Mexico before the family moved to the U.S. for the child’s specialized medical treatment. Certain findings were made as to allegations of abuse by the father and the marriage was dissolved, with custody of the child going to the mother. There was no abuse of discretion in the court’s concluding that there was insufficient evidence to make all requested status determinations. The Nebraska Supreme Court declines to reweigh credibility. An “unsworn, unnotarized declaration” by the mother was properly excluded at the father’s objection to its not being written in Spanish and the court interpreter’s declining to “sight translate” it due to its length and complexity. The mother cannot show prejudice by the exclusion. Affirmed.
