[Indonesia][ Subject matter jurisdiction ][Petition denied]
In Green v Phuong, 2023 WL 5608992 ( Ninth Circuit, 2023) Richard Lee Green appealed pro se from the district
court’s judgment dismissing for lack of subject matter jurisdiction his action
under the Hague Convention. The Ninth Circuit held that the dismissal of
Green’s action was proper because Green did not allege facts sufficient to show
that his children were “habitually resident in a Contracting State” because
Indonesia is not a Convention signatory. See Convention, Art. 4
(providing that the Convention applies “to any child who was habitually
resident in a Contracting State immediately before any breach of custody or
access rights”)
