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).
