Before: Neff, P.J., and White and D. A. Teeple,* JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right the 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)(3)(c)(i) and (g). We affirm. 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). Further, respondent-appellant failed to show that termination of her parental rights was clearly not in the child’s best interest. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the juvenile court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights. In re Hall-Smith, supra. * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1­ Affirmed. /s/ Janet T. Neff /s/ Helene N. White /s/ Donald A. Teeple -2­
