Grand Forks County Human Service Zone, Petitioner and Appellee v. J.E., Mother, Respondent and Appellant (2024)

[¶1] J.E., the mother, appeals from a juvenile court judgment terminating her parental rights to A.J.E. She argues the juvenile court erred in finding the causes and conditions of the need for protection are likely to continue or will not be remedied.

[¶2] We conclude the juvenile court's findings are not clearly erroneous and support a finding the need for protection would continue. See In re A.B., 2017 ND 178, ¶ 12, 898 N.W.2d 676 (“We will not overturn a juvenile court's findings of fact in a termination proceeding unless the findings are clearly erroneous under N.D.R.Civ.P. 52(a).”); see also In re J.C., 2024 ND 9, ¶ 22, 2 N.W.3d 228 (stating the decision whether to terminate parental rights is left to the court's discretion when the statutory requirements are met). We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).

Per Curiam.
