    Interest of D.H.H.
    No. 20210238
    Per Curiam.
    [¶1] E.H. appeals from a juvenile court order terminating her parental rights
    to D.H.H. After a hearing on July 14, 2021, the juvenile court found D.H.H.
    was deprived, the deprivation was likely to continue, and the child had been in
    foster care for at least 450 out of the previous 660 nights under N.D.C.C. § 27-
    20-44 (now N.D.C.C. § 27-20.3-20). The court terminated E.H.’s parental
    rights.
    [¶2] On appeal, E.H. argues the juvenile court erred by finding there was
    clear and convincing evidence to terminate her parental rights. After reviewing
    the record, we conclude the court’s findings are supported by clear and
    convincing evidence and are not clearly erroneous. We conclude the court did
    not abuse its discretion in terminating E.H.’s parental rights. We summarily
    affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (4).
