                              Interest of A.T.
                               No. 20200092

Per Curiam.

[¶1] J.T. appeals from a juvenile court order terminating his parental rights
to A.T. On appeal, J.T. argues the juvenile court erred in terminating his
parental rights because its findings that A.T. was deprived and the deprivation
was likely to continue were clearly erroneous. We conclude the juvenile court’s
findings are supported by clear and convincing evidence, are not clearly
erroneous, and support the termination of J.T.’s parental rights. We
summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
