PER CURIAM Father appeals the termination of his parental rights to his three children on the basis of unfitness. ORS 419B.504. He concedes that he is presently unfit, but con- tends that DHS failed to prove by clear and convincing evi- dence that the children could not be reintegrated into his home within a reasonable time. Having reviewed the matter de novo, ORS 19.415(3), we conclude that the condition that renders father unfit is not likely to change within a time that is reasonable con- sidering the children’s emotional and developmental needs. A further written discussion would not benefit the bench or bar. Affirmed.
