Ethan Hinze, L.B.S.W., Petitioner and Appellee v. K.V., mother; J.S., father, Respondents and Appellants (2023)

Supreme Court of North Dakota.

In the INTEREST OF J.S., minor child Ethan Hinze, L.B.S.W., Petitioner and Appellee v. J.S., Jr., child, Respondent K.V., mother; J.S., father, Respondents and Appellants

No. 20230062

Decided: April 13, 2023

Rebecca R. Jund, Assistant State's Attorney, Fargo, N.D., for petitioner and appellee; submitted on brief. Elizabeth J. Sundby, Fargo, N.D., for respondent and appellant K.V., mother; submitted on brief. Kylie M. Oversen, Fargo, N.D., for respondent and appellant J.S., father; submitted on brief.

[¶1] J.S., Sr., and K.V. appeal from a juvenile court order affirming a judicial referee's findings of fact and order terminating their parental rights over their child, J.S., Jr. They argue that the juvenile court abused its discretion, and J.S., Sr., argues the trial court erred in finding the child was “in need of protection” and that the causes thereof were likely to continue. We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (4).

Per Curiam.

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