STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of BRENDON A. JAMES and ALEX JAMES, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED October 10, 1997 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 197941 Oakland Juvenile Court LC No. 92-054535-NA DANIEL JAMES, Defendant-Appellant. Before: Doctoroff, P.J., and Cavanagh and Saad, J.J. MEMORANDUM. Respondent appeals as of right from the juvenile court order that terminated his parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g) and (h); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g) and (h). We affirm. The juvenile court did not 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 did not show that termination was not in the children’s best interest. Thus, the juvenile court did not err in ruling that his parental rights should be terminated. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5), In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Affirmed. /s/ Martin M. Doctoroff /s/ Mark J. Cavanagh /s/ Henry W. Saad -1
