Opinion

[¶1] G.P. Sr. appeals from a juvenile court judgment terminating his parental rights to G.P. Jr. and M.P. G.P. Sr. argues the evidence presented at trial does not support a finding, by clear and convincing evidence, that it was in the childrens best interests to terminate his parental rights. He claims alternatives to termination were available. After reviewing the record, the courts findings are supported by clear and convincing evidence and are not clearly erroneous. The court did not abuse its discretion in terminating G.P. Sr.’s parental rights. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (4). Per Curiam.
