Opinion

No. DA 13–0193.

2013-10-22

In the Matter of K.J., a Youth in Need of Care.


¶ 17 “In determining whether to terminate parental rights, ... the best interests of the child are of paramount concern and take precedence over the parental rights.” A.S., ¶ 25. We have determined to decide this case pursuant to Section I, Paragraph 3(d) of our Internal Operating Rules, which provides for noncitable memorandum opinions. Having reviewed the briefs and the record on appeal, we conclude that the appellants have not met their burdens of persuasion. They have not shown error in either the District Court's factual findings or its conclusions of law. The District Court did not abuse its discretion in terminating the parents' rights. The judgment is affirmed.

We concur: MICHAEL E. WHEAT, LAURIE McKINNON, PATRICIA COTTER and BRIAN MORRIS.
