       Per Curiam.
[¶1]   Sierra Holznagel appeals from district court orders granting Nathan Miles
primary residential responsibility of their minor child and denying a motion to
reconsider or grant a new trial. Holznagel argues the district court erred in finding a
material change in circumstances supported the change in residential responsibility
and overlooked facts when analyzing the best interest factors. Holznagel further
argues the court abused its discretion by limiting an evidentiary hearing to three
hours, allowing testimony from certain witnesses and denying a continuance. We
summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2), (3) and (4).
