Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 201792
Ingham Juvenile Court
LC No. 00004360
NATASHA PURNELL,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
CHRISTOPHER QUEZADA,
Respondent.
Before: Markey, P.J., and Neff and Smolenski, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the juvenile court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(a)(ii)
and (g). We affirm.
The juvenile 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, 222 Mich App 470, 473; 564 NW2d
-1
156 (1997). Thus, the juvenile court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to
the children. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5).
Affirmed.
