Bechtle v. Bechtle
No. 20230054
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Joshua Bechtle appeals from a district court’s order denying his motion
to modify parenting time. Joshua Bechtle argues the court erred by finding no
material change in circumstances after he completed sex offender treatment
and probation. Joshua Bechtle also argues the court erred in its review of the
best interest factors.
[¶2] The district court found no material change in circumstances existed
because it was known at the time of the initial parenting time order that
Joshua Bechtle’s parole would end, he would complete sex offender treatment
and remained a registered sex offender until 2031. Because this issue is
dispositive, we decline to address other issues raised on appeal. We summarily
affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
