STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS __________________________________________ In the Matter of ASHLEY EHLER and JOHN EHLER, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, f/k/a DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, UNPUBLISHED May 6, 1997 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 196370 Iosco Probate Court LC No. 95-012567-NA JOHN EHLER and NAOMI EHLER, Respondents-Appellants. Before: Corrigan, C.J., and Young and Michael J. Talbot,* JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondents appeal as of right from the July 8, 1996 order of the probate court terminating their parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g). We affirm. The probate court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory ground for termination was established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Further, respondents failed to show that termination of their parental rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests. In re Hall-Smith, ___ Mich App ___; ___ NW2d ___ (Docket No. 195833, issued 3/25/97), slip op p 3. Thus, the probate court did not err in terminating respondents’ parental rights to the children. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5). Affirmed. * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1 /s/ Maura D. Corrigan /s/ Robert P. Young, Jr. /s/ Michael J. Talbot -2
