Guardianship and Conservatorship of Johnson

No. 20060021



Per Curiam.

[¶1]	
David B. Johnson appeals from an order appointing his children, Carrie E. Johnson and David S. Johnson, as co-guardians and co-conservators of his estate with no limitations on their authority to make decisions for him.  David B. Johnson argues the district court failed to consider the least restrictive form of intervention under N.D.C.C. § 30.1-28-04 and the court’s grant of unlimited authority to the co-

guardians violated David B. Johnson’s right to decide his place of residence.  We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (7) and
