Johnson, an Incapacitated Person Carrie E. Johnson and David S. Johnson, Petitioners and Appellees v. David B. Johnson, Respondent and Appellant No. 20060021 Appeal from the District Court of Cass County, East Central Judicial District, the Honorable John Charles Irby, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam Beverley L.

Box 1389, Fargo, N.D. 58107-1389, for respondent and appellant. Guardianship and Conservatorship of Johnson No. 20060021 Per Curiam. [¶1] David B. Johnson appeals from an order appointing his children, Carrie E. Johnson and David S. Johnson, as co-guardians and co-conservators of his estate with no limitations on their authority to make decisions for him. David B. Johnson argues the district court failed to consider the least restrictive form of intervention under N.D.C.C. § 30.1-28-04 and the court's grant of unlimited authority to the co-guardians violated David B. Johnson's right to decide his place of residence. We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (7) and In re Guardianship/Conservatorship of Van Sickle, 2005 ND 69, ¶¶ 30-35, 694 N.W.2d 212 and In re Guardianship of Braaten, 502 N.W.2d 512 , 517-23 (N.D. 1993).
