v
No. 192517
Wayne Juvenile Court
LC No. 86-257986
LAURA SHIRLEY,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
EUGENE RIVERS, CALVIN JOHNSON, and
CHARLES LITTLEJOHN,
Respondents.
Before: Holbrook, Jr., P.J., and Michael J. Kelly and Gribbs, 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)(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 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, the court did not clearly err in ruling that termination of respondent
appellant’s parental rights was in the best interests of the children. In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App

470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997); see also MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5);
