[¶ 1] John Brian McLane appeals from an order for protection from abuse entered in the District Court (Biddeford, Foster, J.) on Ellen J. Clark's complaint. McLane contends that there is insufficient evidence as a matter of law to support the court's finding that he abused Clark within the meaning of the protection from abuse statute, 19-A M.R.S. §§ 4001-4014 (2012).1 We affirm the judgment.
