IN the INTEREST OF A.H.

Carissa Cowley, L.S.W., Petitioner and Appellee
v.
A.H., a child, A.H., father, Lisa Borseth, Guardian ad Litem, Christopher D. Jones, the Executive Director of the North Dakota Department of Human Services, Respondents
and
L.B., mother, Respondent and Appellant

No. 20180107

Supreme Court of North Dakota.

Filed May 8, 2018

Constance L. Cleveland, Assistant State's Attorney, Fargo, ND, for petitioner and appellee; submitted on brief.

Jay R. Greenwood, Fargo, ND, for respondent and appellant; submitted on brief.

Per Curiam.

[¶1] L.B. appealed from a juvenile court order terminating her parental rights to A.H. The juvenile court found the child is deprived, the conditions and causes of the deprivation are likely to continue, and the child is 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).
