STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS __________________________________________ In the Matter of JANAVIN IRVIN and ANTHONY PRICE, Minors. DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, UNPUBLISHED June 6, 1997 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 195328 Kent Probate Court LC No. 95-032000-NA ROBERT IRVIN, Respondent-Appellant, and ANTHONY HARDEN and PATSY PRICE, Respondents. _______________________________________ DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 195831 Kent Probate Court LC No. 95-032000-NA PATSY PRICE, Respondent-Appellant. Before: Saad, P.J., and Hood and McDonald, JJ. MEMORANDUM. -1­ In these consolidated appeals, respondent Irvin appeals as of right from the probate court order terminating his parental rights to Janavin Irvin under MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii) and (h); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(a)(ii) and (h), and respondent Price appeals as of right from the probate court order terminating her parental rights to Janavin Irvin and Anthony Price under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i). We affirm. The probate court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination under § 3(a)(ii) as to respondent Irvin and under §3(c)(i) as to respondent Price were established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Because there was at least one statutory ground supporting the termination of respondent Irvin’s parental rights, any error by the probate court in terminating his parental rights under §3(h) was harmless. See In re Powers, 208 Mich App 582, 592-593; 528 NW2d 799 (1995); In re Perry, 193 Mich App 648, 650-651; 484 NW2d 768 (1992). Affirmed. /s/ Henry William Saad /s/ Harold Hood /s/ Gary R. McDonald. -2­
