J.V., child; D.N., father; John Doe, father; Respondents and K.V., mother; Respondent and Appellant No. 20230041 Appeal from the Juvenile Court of Cass County, East Central Judicial District, the Honorable Daniel E. Gast, judicial referee. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Rebecca R. Jund, Assistant State’s Attorney, Fargo, ND, for petitioner and appellee; submitted on brief. Elizabeth J. Sundby, Fargo, ND, for respondent and appellant; submitted on brief. Interest of C.V. and J.V. Nos. 20230040-20230041 Per Curiam. [¶1] K.V., mother of C.V. and J.V., appeals from a juvenile court order terminating her parental rights. On appeal, K.V. argues the court abused its discretion by terminating her parental rights to C.V. and J.V. when the fathers’ rights were not terminated. K.V. also argues the court abused its discretion by terminating her rights when the children had previously been returned to her because she had completed the requirements of her case plan. [¶2] The juvenile court terminated parental rights based on several findings, including findings that K.V. subjected C.V. and J.V. to aggravated circumstances under N.D.C.C. § 27-20.3-20(1)(b), as both children had been exposed to controlled substances. K.V. is not challenging the court’s findings. We conclude the juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in its decision to terminate K.V.’s parental rights. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4). [¶3] Jon J. Jensen, C.J. Daniel J. Crothers Lisa Fair McEvers Jerod E. Tufte Douglas A. Bahr 1
