               In the above entitled cause the Clerk will enter:

       The judgment is affirmed on the grounds that the trial court made a
 case-specific finding that requiring the child victim to testify in the
 presence of the defendant would present a substantial risk of trauma, which
 would substantially impair the ability of the child to testify.  V.R.E. 807;
