                               Sims v. Sims
                               No. 20210039

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Earl Sims appeals from a domestic violence protection order entered
against him in December 2020. He argues the evidence presented at the
district court hearing did not support the two-year protection order. We
conclude the court’s findings are not clearly erroneous. See Lindstaedt v.
George, 

, 

 (the clearly erroneous standard
of review applies to factual findings made by the district court in N.D.C.C. §
14-07.1-02 domestic violence proceedings). We affirm under N.D.R.App.P.
35.1(a)(2).
