Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 205902
Wayne Juvenile Court
LC No. 95-325657
MICHELE LYNNETTE SHEPHERD, a/k/a
MICHELEE L. SHEPHERD,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
JAMES BUSSLE,
Respondent.
Before: Bandstra, P.J., and MacKenzie and N.O. Holowka*, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Respondent-appellant Michele Shepherd (hereinafter respondent) appeals as of right from a
juvenile court order terminating her parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and
(g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(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 clearly 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, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997).
* Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment.

Further, respondent failed to show that termination of her parental rights was clearly not in the child’s
best interest. In re Hall-Smith, supra. Thus, the juvenile court did not err in terminating respondent’s
parental rights to the child. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178 (598.19b)(5).
We affirm.
