                                 DeLong v. Shields
                                   No. 20180198

       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).
