Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 191581
Jackson Probate Court
LC No. 94-17977
KELLEY CAMPBELL,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Griffin, P.J., and McDonald and C. W. Johnson*, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Respondent appeals an order terminating her parental rights to her four children pursuant to
MCL 712A.19(b)(3)(g)(h); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(g)(h).
The court did not clearly err in finding clear and convincing evidence to support termination of
respondent’s rights under subsection (3)(h). The testimony showed respondent was in prison for armed
robbery, her earliest outdate is February 7, 1998, and no suitable placement with a friend or relative
was presented to the court. Respondent’s mother was determined to be unable to provide proper care
for the children due to her inability to provide structure, a suitable living arrangement, and her need to
avoid adversarial situations.
The record further supports the court’s finding by clear and convincing evidence the termination
of respondent’s rights under subsection (3)(g). The evidence clearly showed respondent was unable to
appropriately discipline the children and provide proper care, custody and shelter for them.
* Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment.

We further conclude the court did not abuse its discretion in terminating respondent’s parental
rights. In re Jackson, 199 Mich App 22; 501 NW2d 182 (1993).
Affirmed.
