Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Kimberly Ayotte, District Associate Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Bower, C.J., and Tabor and Ahlers, JJ.  Opinion by Tabor, J.  (5 pages)

            A father appeals the termination of his parental rights to his daughter, who is now four years old.  He contends the State failed to prove a statutory ground for termination by clear and convincing evidence, that termination is not in the child’s best interests, and he asks to delay permanency for six months.  OPINION HOLDS: Because we are unconvinced by any of his three arguments, we affirm.
