COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of BRIAN JAJUAN CRAFT, Minor
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
May 8, 1998
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 206072
Wayne Juvenile Court
LC No. 95-323484
NATALIE NICOLE CRAFT,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
BRIAN CURRETHERS,
Respondent.
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.
