STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of LAROBERT D. LEE, Minor _________________________________________ FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED June 27, 1997 Petitioner-Appellee,, v No. 197898 Wayne Probate Court LC No. 93-307260 ROBERT KELVIN LEE, Respondent-Appellant, and ANGELIQUE TAWANDA TRAYLOR, Respondent. Before: Gage, P.J., and Reilly and Hoekstra, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the probate court order terminating his parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i), (g) 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 his 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-appellant’s parental rights to the child. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5). -1 Affirmed. /s/ Hilda R. Gage /s/ Maureen Pulte Reilly /s/ Joel P. Hoekstra -2
