Owen SUKEL, Respondent Below, Appellant, v. Joy EISEL, Petitioner Below, Appellee.
ORDER
After careful consideration of the parties’ briefs and the record on appeal, we find it evident that the judgment of the Family Court should be affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons assigned in the Family Court's well-reasoned March 14, 2019 order, which affirmed the Commissioner's order granting the appellee's petition for a protection from abuse order. The Family Court did not abuse its discretion in accepting the Commissioner's order, and the appellant's allegation of bias on the part of either the Family Court or the Commissioner is not supported by the record.
See King v. Booker , 2015 WL 4985367, at *2 ("If the Family Court has correctly applied the law, our standard of review is abuse of discretion.").
--------
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Family Court is AFFIRMED.
