Opinion:
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Samantha DeLong appeals from a district court order and judgment awarding Darrell Selfree Shields unsupervised parenting time of D.J.S., a minor child. DeLong argues the district court erred in applying the best interest factors and in awarding Shields unsupervised parenting time. A district court's decision on primary residential responsibility and parenting time are reviewed under the clearly erroneous standard. Rebenitsch v. Rebenitsch , 2018 ND 48, ¶ 4, 907 N.W.2d 41. The court's findings on the best interest factors and its award of unsupervised parenting time to Shields were not clearly erroneous. Follman v. Follman , 2017 ND 58, 891 N.W.2d 778. The judgment is summarily affirmed under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
