Interest of C.S.

[¶1] A mother appeals from a judgment terminating her parental rights.  On appeal, the mother argues the juvenile court erred by finding deprivation is likely to continue, the child will suffer harm without termination of the mother’s parental rights and reasonable efforts for reunification were made.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3) because the juvenile court’s findings are supported beyond a reasonable doubt as required by the Indian Child Welfare Act.
