Box 423, Fargo, ND 58107-0423, for respondent and appellant. Interest of C.J., S.J. and K.W.Nos. 20070314 & 20070315 Per Curiam. [¶1] K.W. appealed a juvenile court judgment terminating her parental rights to her three minor children. She argues that the trial court erred in finding clear and convincing evidence that deprivation was likely to continue and erred in finding clear and convincing evidence that the children would likely suffer harm absent a termination of parental rights. She also argued that reasonable efforts were not made to prevent removal of the children and to reunify the family once the children were removed. The findings are not clearly erroneous and the judgment is supported by substantial evidence. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (3). [¶2] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J. Dale V.
