Highlight

The fundamental requirement of due process is the opportunity to be heard at a meaningful time and in a meaningful manner.
A prisoner's due process rights are generally satisfied if the prisoner is represented at a parental-rights-termination hearing by counsel and has an opportunity to appear by deposition or other discovery technique.
In general, there is no denial of due process when the parent testifies at a termination hearing by telephone and is represented by court-appointed counsel during the proceeding.
A North Dakota district court does not have authority to order another state to allow a prisoner to appear in a civil case.
