Before: Markey, P.J., and Neff and Smolenski, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondents appeal as of right from the juvenile court orders terminating their parental rights
under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i) 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 with respect to both respondents. MCR 5.974(I); In re
Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Further, the court did not err in terminating
respondents’ parental rights, inasmuch as the evidence failed to demonstrate that termination was clearly
not in the child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Hall-Smith,
222 Mich App 470, 472; 564 NW2d 156 (1997).
Affirmed.
/s/ Jane E. Markey
/s/ Janet T. Neff
/s/ Michael R. Smolenski
