Per Curiam. [¶1] C.D. appeals from a juvenile court judgment terminating his parental rights. On appeal, C.D. argues that the State failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence his child would likely suffer harm in his care. The juvenile court terminated C.D.’s parental rights after finding the child was a deprived child, the conditions, and causes of the deprivation were likely to continue or will not be remedied, and the child would probably suffer emotional harm in C.D.’s care. N.D.C.C. § 27-20-44(1)(c)(1). We conclude the juvenile court’s findings are supported by clear and convincing evidence, are not clearly erroneous, and support the termination of C.D’s parental rights. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
