Guardianship of W.B.T.  Court Description: Order appointing a successor guardian is summarily affirmed under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2). IN THE SUPREME COURT STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 2016 ND 196 In the Matter of the Guardianship of W.B.T., an Incapacitated Individual A.W., former Guardian, Petitioner v. W.B.T. and Alex Schweitzer, Successor Guardian, Respondents W.B.T., Appellant No. 20160118 Appeal from the District Court of Burleigh County, South Central Judicial District, the Honorable Cynthia Feland, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. A.W., petitioner; no appearance. W.B.T., appellant; on brief. Guardianship of W.B.T.No. 20160118 Per Curiam. [¶1] W.B.T. appeals a district court order appointing Alex Schweitzer as successor guardian of his estate. W.B.T.'s sister, A.W., was appointed guardian of W.B.T.'s estate in 2014 after W.B.T. was diagnosed with chronic paranoid schizophrenia. A.W. requested to be relieved of her duties as guardian because of a conflict between her and W.B.T. After a hearing the court relieved A.W. of her duties and appointed Alex Schweitzer as successor guardian. W.B.T. argues the guardianship should be terminated, or in the alternative, A.W. should remain as guardian. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2). [¶2] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J. Dale V.
