IN RE: the ADOPTION OF B.A.T. (2018)

Supreme Court of North Dakota.

IN RE: the ADOPTION OF B.A.T. M.L.T. and S.G.T., Petitioners and Appellees v. J.C.T., Respondent and Appellant

No. 20180137

Decided: July 11, 2018

Ashley L. Lies, New Rockford, ND, for petitioners and appellees. Alyssa L. Lovas, Bismarck, ND, for respondent and appellant.

[¶1] The biological father of a minor child appealed from an order terminating his parental rights and granting a petition for stepparent adoption. The father argues the juvenile court erred in finding he abandoned the child and in terminating his parental rights. We conclude the juvenile court did not clearly err in finding the father abandoned the child and in terminating his parental rights. We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).

Per Curiam.
