In the Interest of D.Z. State of North Dakota, Petitioner and Appellee v. D.Z., child, D.T., father, Respondents S.Z., mother, Respondent and Appellant

No. 20230245, No. 20230246

Decided: September 14, 2023

Rozanna C. Larson, State's Attorney, Minot, ND, for petitioner and appellee; submitted on brief. Jamie L. Schaible, Fargo, ND, for respondent and appellant; submitted on brief.

[¶1] S.Z. appeals from a juvenile court order terminating her parental rights to A.Z. and D.Z. S.Z. argues the court erred in finding clear and convincing evidence established the children were in need of protection and that the conditions and causes of the need for protection were likely to continue. She also argues the court erred in finding there was clear and convincing evidence the children would likely suffer harm absent a termination of parental rights. After reviewing the record, the court's findings are supported by clear and convincing evidence and are not clearly erroneous. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).

Per Curiam.

[¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J. Daniel J. Crothers Lisa Fair McEvers Jerod E. Tufte Douglas A. Bahr
