N.S.L. and P.D.L., 		Petitioners and Appellees

v.

B.M.W., 		Respondent and Appellant

           and

Department of Human Services of North Dakota,                                       Respondent

No. 20170203

Appeal from the District Court of Cass County, East Central Judicial District, the Honorable Frank L. Racek, Judge.

AFFIRMED.

Per Curiam.

Jared J. Hines, Fargo, ND, for petitioners and appellees.

Kiara C. Kraus-Parr, Grand Forks, ND, for respondent and appellant.

Interest of A.F.L.

No. 20170203

Per Curiam.

[¶1]	
B.W. appealed a district court’s order terminating his parental rights to A.F.L. On appeal, B.W. argues the district court was clearly erroneous in finding B.W. abandoned A.F.L. and that it was in A.F.L.’s best interest to terminate B.W.’s parental rights. Because the district court’s findings were not clearly erroneous, we summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
