LC No. 84-242143
ROSEMARY DAVIS,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
DANNIE COATES,
Respondent.
Before: Gage, P.J., and Reilly and Hoekstra, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the probate court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g), (i) and (j); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g), (i) and (j). We affirm.
The probate court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were
established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445
NW2d 161 (1989). Further, respondent-appellant failed to show that termination of her 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
