Interest of E.I., Jr.No. 20050024

Per Curiam.

[¶1] E.I., Sr., appeals the Richland County Juvenile Court order that terminated his parental rights to E.I., Jr., on the grounds of abandonment. E.I., Sr., argues that he did not abandon his son, nor was there deprivation, because he was involuntarily denied contact with his child. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
