Petitioner-Appellee,
v
FRANCES ROYAL, f/k/a FRANCES RALSTON,
No. 200256
Marquette Probate Court
LC No. 95-004911
Respondent-Appellant,
and
PAUL W. HOPKINS,
Respondent.
Before: Cavanagh, P.J., and Doctoroff and D.A. Teeple*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the probate court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii); MSA 27.3178(598.19b) (3)(a)(ii). We
affirm.
Respondent-appellant 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-appellant’s
parental rights to the child. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b) (5).
*Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment.
