STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In Re MARK JAMES BEVINS, Minor FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED June 24, 1997 Plaintiff-Appellee, v No. 199295 Gladwin Probate Court LC No. 95-000069-NA TEISHA BEVINS, Defendant-Appellant. Before: Gage, P.J., and Reilly and Hoekstra, JJ. PER CURIAM. Respondent appeals as of right from the probate court order terminating her parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i). We affirm. Respondent was not entitled to the involuntary dismissal of the termination petition. MCR 2.504(B)(2). 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 failed to show that termination of her parental rights was clearly not in the child’s best interest. 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 respondent’s parental rights to the child. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5). Affirmed. /s/ Hilda R. Gage /s/ Maureen Pulte Reilly /s/ Joel P. Hoekstra -1
