Interest of T.D., a Child

[¶1] N.R. appealed from a juvenile court judgment terminating his parental rights to his child, T.D.  N.R. argues the court erred in finding reasonable efforts were made to reunify the child with his family and erred in terminating his parental rights.  We conclude the court’s findings are not clearly erroneous, and we  summarily affirm the juvenile court’s judgment under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
