[¶1] T.P.C. and L.P.C. appeal from the “F indings of Fact and Order Reappointing Guardian and Conservatorship and Continuing Guardianship Following Review and Denying Petitioners Request in Full. ” They argue the district court abused its discretion in denying their motion to remove Guardian and Protective Services, Inc. (“GaPS”) as guardian and conservator. Additionally, they argue the court abused its discretion by not appointing them as co-guardians and co-conservators because they had statutory priority. We conclude the court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion and reappointing GaPS. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4). [¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J.
