Guardianship of W.B.T.
No. 20160118
Per Curiam.
[¶1] W.B.T. appeals a district court order appointing Alex Schweitzer as successor guardian of his estate. W.B.T.’s sister, A.W., was appointed guardian of W.B.T.’s estate in 2014 after W.B.T. was diagnosed with chronic paranoid schizophrenia. A.W. requested to be relieved of her duties as guardian because of a conflict between her and W.B.T. After a hearing the court relieved A.W. of her duties and appointed Alex Schweitzer as successor guardian. W.B.T. argues the guardianship should be terminated, or in the alternative, A.W. should remain as guardian. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
