                          Interest of P.F. and K.F.
                          Nos. 20200283, 20200284

Per Curiam.

[¶1] S.S. appeals from a judgment entered by the juvenile court determining
her children, P.F. and K.F., to be deprived under N.D.C.C. § 27-20-02(8). On
appeal, S.S. argues various circumstances supporting the court’s
determination P.F. and K.F. are deprived are no longer applicable or will be
resolved. S.S. also argues reports regarding the lack of supervisory ability of
the children’s maternal grandmother, the person with whom the children had
been informally placed, should have prompted the court to return the children
to S.S.’s care. We conclude the juvenile court’s findings are supported by clear
and convincing evidence and are not clearly erroneous. We summarily affirm
under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
