¶46Per Curiam.

¶47[¶1] A.N. appeals from the juvenile court’s order affirming the judicial referee’s order finding A.N.P. is a deprived child and terminating A.N.’s parental rights to A.N.P.  On appeal, A.N. argues the juvenile court erred in finding A.N.P. is a deprived child and the judicial referee failed to give witnesses’ testimony appropriate weight.

¶48[¶2] We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
