Kyle R. Craig, Minot, ND, for respondent and appellee; submitted on brief. Interest of E.E.J.-C. No. 20230091

Per Curiam.

[¶1] L.J.J. appeals from a juvenile court order denying her petition for guardianship of E.E.J.C., a child. L.J.J. argues the court erred in finding the child was not in need of protection. After reviewing the record, the 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).
