FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
November 25, 1997
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 201330
Wayne Juvenile Court
LC No. 94-322548
MICHELENE DOBSON,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
UNKNOWN FATHER,
Respondent.
Before: Jansen, P.J., and Fitzgerald and Young, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the juvenile court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i),
(g) and (j). We affirm.
The juvenile court’s findings on the statutory factors were supported by clear and convincing
evidence and were not clearly erroneous. MCL 712A.19b(3); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3); In re
Conley, 216 Mich App 41, 42; 549 NW2d 353 (1996). Respondent-appellant has failed to establish
that termination of her parental rights 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, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156
(1997). The juvenile court’s ultimate decision to terminate respondent-appellant’s parental rights was
not clearly erroneous. Id. at 472.
