Interest of D.B., C.B., & M.B.

Nos. 20250111 – 20250113 Per Curiam. [¶1] J.M. appeals from juvenile court orders terminating her parental rights. On appeal, she argues the court clearly erred by finding the children are in need of protection, the causes of the need for protection are likely to continue and will not be remedied, and the children have suffered harm as a result. J.M. argues she was working towards her goals for reunification. After review of the record, we conclude the juvenile court’s findings are supported by clear and convincing evidence and are not clearly erroneous. We further conclude the court did not abuse its discretion by terminating J.M.’s parental rights. We summarily affirm the juvenile court orders terminating J.M.’s parental rights under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (4). [¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J.
