Interest of L.F., a childNo. 20150272

Per Curiam.

[¶1] J.B., mother of minor child L.F., appealed from an order terminating her parental rights. J.B. argues the juvenile court erred in concluding J.B. failed to make substantial, meaningful efforts to secure treatment for her addiction for a period longer than one year. We conclude the juvenile court's findings are supported by clear and convincing evidence and are not clearly erroneous. We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
