Matter of C.J.S.  Court Description: A district court judgment changing a child's surname is affirmed under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2). IN THE SUPREME COURT STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 2013 ND 45 In the Matter of C.J.S. for Name Change Rozalyn Rinde, Petitioner and Appellee v. Glenn Stegman, Respondent and Appellant No. 20120370 Appeal from the District Court of Pembina County, Northeast Judicial District, the Honorable Donovan J. Foughty, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Todd D. Burianek, 53 West 5th Street, Grafton, ND 58237, for petitioner and appellee; submitted on brief. Glenn Stegman, self-represented, P.O. Box 5521, Bismarck, ND 58506-5521, respondent and appellant; submitted on brief. Matter of C.J.S.No. 20120370 Per Curiam. [¶1] Glenn Stegman appealed from a district court judgment changing his minor child's surname. On appeal, Stegman argues the notice of hearing was insufficient because the instructions to appear by telephone were confusing and vague, and the district court erred because it did not find there was a proper and reasonable cause for the name change and did not find that the name change was in the best interests of the child. We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2). [¶2] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J. Carol Ronning Kapsner Mary Muehlen Maring Daniel J. Crothers Dale V. Sandstrom
