Per Curiam .

[¶1] A mother appeals from a juvenile court order terminating her parental rights.  The mother argues the juvenile court erred because the State did not prove the causes of the children’s deprivation were likely to continue or that the children were suffering, or would probably suffer, a serious harm absent termination of her parental rights.  We conclude the juvenile court’s findings are not clearly erroneous and the court made alternate findings sufficient to terminate parental rights.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and 35.1(a)(7).   In re R.L.-P. , 2014 ND 28, 842 N.W.2d 889.
