Interest of A.F.L.No. 20170203

Per Curiam.

[¶1] B.W. appealed a district court's order terminating his parental rights to A.F.L. On appeal, B.W. argues the district court was clearly erroneous in finding B.W. abandoned A.F.L. and that it was in A.F.L.'s best interest to terminate B.W.'s parental rights. Because the district court's findings were not clearly erroneous, we summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
