Supreme Court of North Dakota.

Filed April 10, 2018

Pam H. Ormand, Assistant State's Attorney, Fargo, ND, for petitioner and appellee; submitted on brief.

E. Jane Sundby, Fargo, ND, for respondent and appellant; submitted on brief.

Per Curiam.

*111[¶ 1] T.V. appealed from a juvenile court order terminating her parental rights to I.V. and S.B. III. The juvenile court found the children are deprived, the conditions and causes of the deprivation are likely to continue, and the children are suffering or will probably suffer serious harm in the future. On appeal, the mother argues there was not clear and convincing evidence to support a termination of her parental rights. We conclude the juvenile 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).
