John D. Bunker (orally), Paine, Lynch & Harris, Bangor, for plaintiff.

Before McKUSICK, C.J., ROBERTS, WATHEN, GLASSMAN, SCOLNIK and CLIFFORD, JJ.

Opinion:
MEMORANDUM OF DECISION.
Elmer C. Connors appeals from the judgment of the Probate Court, Penobscot County, appointing a guardian to act on his behalf. We affirm the decision of the Probate Court. Whether a guardian should be appointed is within the sound discretion of the probate judge. See Estate of Peter C., 488 A.2d 468 (Me.1985); Matter of Howes, 471 A.2d 689 (Me.1984). Connors has failed to establish on the scant record before us that the probate judge acted in excess of that discretion.
