PER CURIAM.
[¶ 1] R.H., the natural father of D.J.D., appeals from an order terminating his parental rights to the child and from an order granting a petition for adoption of the child. He argues he was denied effective assistance of counsel in the termination and adoption proceedings. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7), concluding the record does not establish that his counsel was ineffective under the guidelines of Interest of K.L. and M.S., 2008 ND 131, ¶ 31, 751 N.W.2d 677.
