KALITOWSKI, Judge

Appellant Leslie A. Miller contends the district court erred by issuing a harassment restraining order forbidding her to have any contact with her neighbor, respondent Koebel Price. We affirm.

D E C I S I O N

A reviewing court shall not set aside the district court's findings of fact unless they are clearly erroneous, and due regard shall be given to the opportunity of the district court to judge the credibility of the witnesses. Minn. R. Civ. P. 52.01. The findings of a referee to the extent adopted by the court are considered the findings of the court. Id.

Appellant contends she did not harass respondent, and therefore the district court erred in issuing a harassment restraining order. Thus, appellant in effect argues that the referee's findings were not supported by the evidence. We disagree. Respondent and his roommate testified to appellant's harassing behavior, and respondent submitted evidence supporting the testimony. The referee was in the best position to judge the credibility of the witnesses. Because the findings are amply supported in the record, we conclude the findings were not clearly erroneous and the district court did not err by issuing the restraining order.

Affirmed.
