Cara Isabelle Sims,                                                Petitioner
     v.
Earl Otis Sims,                                   Respondent and Appellant

                               No. 20210039

the Honorable Mark T. Blumer, Judge.

AFFIRMED.

Earl O. Sims, Jr., self-represented, Morgantown, WV, respondent and
appellant.
                               Sims v. Sims
                               No. 20210039

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Earl Sims appeals from a domestic violence protection order entered
against him in December 2020. He argues the evidence presented at the
district court hearing did not support the two-year protection order. We
conclude the court’s findings are not clearly erroneous. See Lindstaedt v.
George, 2020 ND 262, ¶¶ 3, 5, 952 N.W.2d 102 (the clearly erroneous standard
of review applies to factual findings made by the district court in N.D.C.C. §
14-07.1-02 domestic violence proceedings). We affirm under N.D.R.App.P.
35.1(a)(2).
