December 27, 2007 MEMORANDUM DECISION - NOT FOR PUBLICATION

SHARPNACK, Judge

This case comes to us on appeal from an order terminating the parental rights of Mary Palmero to M.P., A.P., and S.P. The order included in the record reflects that it was signed by the magistrate presiding over the case but does not indicate that the juvenile court judge approved entry of the order. The docket indicates that the order was approved on May 22, 2007, but there is no indication as to how this approval was accomplished. The authority of magistrates to act is determined by statute. As provided in Ind. Code
