STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS _____________________________________ In the Matter of RICHARD BOX, KENNETH BOX and SARA BOX, Minors. _____________________________________ FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED April 3, 1998 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 205458 Washtenaw Juvenile Court LC No. 94-022543 NA NANCY BOX, Respondent-Appellant. ____________________________________ Before: Bandstra, P.J., and MacKenzie and N.O. Holowka*, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent 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. This case has been decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). 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); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Further, respondent failed to put forth any evidence from which the juvenile court could conclude that termination was clearly not in the children’s best interests. Hence, the court’s decision to terminate respondent’s parental rights was in conformity with the requirements of MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5). In re Hall-Smith, supra. We affirm. * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1­ /s/ Richard A. Bandstra /s/ Barbara B. MacKenzie /s/ Nick O. Holowka -2­
