PER CURIAM Affirmed. 1 PER CURIAM 2 Mother appeals a judgment terminating her parental rights in her two 3 children on the grounds of unfitness, ORS 419B.504, and extreme conduct, ORS 4 419B.502. A discussion of the facts would not benefit the bench, the bar, or the public. 5 We reject without discussion mother's challenges to the termination of her parental rights 6 on the ground of unfitness. Accordingly, we affirm the juvenile court's judgment. 7 Given our disposition, we need not address, and imply no view as to the 8 correctness of, the juvenile court's termination of parental rights on the alternative ground 9 of extreme conduct pursuant to ORS 419B.502. See Dept. of Human Services v. B. J. B., 10 242 Or App 534, 537, 256 P3d 167 (2011) (holding that, in a case such as this one, "if a 11 party specifies on appeal the collateral consequences that could result from a disposition 12 that was based on some but not all of the allegations in a petition for termination of 13 parental rights, we will, if appropriate, specify any allegations that play no part in our 14 disposition"). 15 Affirmed. 1
