IN THE SUPREME COURT STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 2021 ND 167 Cara Isabelle Sims, Petitioner v. Earl Otis Sims, Respondent and Appellant No. 20210039 Appeal from the District Court of Ransom County, Southeast Judicial District, the Honorable Mark T. Blumer, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Earl O. Sims, Jr., self-represented, Morgantown, WV, respondent and appellant. FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK OF SUPREME COURT SEPTEMBER 16, 2021 STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 1 Sims v. Sims No. 20210039 Per Curiam. [¶1] Earl Sims appeals from a domestic violence protection order entered against him in December 2020. He argues the evidence presented at the district court hearing did not support the two-year protection order. We conclude the court’s findings are not clearly erroneous. See Lindstaedt v. George, 2020 ND 262, ¶¶ 3, 5, 952 N.W.2d 102 (the clearly erroneous standard of review applies to factual findings made by the district court in N.D.C.C. § 14-07.1-02 domestic violence proceedings). We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2). [¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J. Gerald W. VandeWalle Daniel J. Crothers Lisa Fair McEvers Jerod E. Tufte
