Interest of A.D.No. 20170014

Per Curiam.

[¶1] The mother, M.D., appeals from a juvenile court order terminating her parental rights. The juvenile court found the child is deprived, the conditions and causes of the deprivation are likely to continue, the child is suffering or will probably suffer serious harm, and the child has been in foster care for at least 450 out of the last 660 nights of the child's life. The mother argues there was not clear and convincing evidence the deprivation was likely to continue. We conclude the court's findings are not clearly erroneous. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
