Petitioner-Appellee,
v
JEFFREY OKLAD,
No. 203475
Muskegon Juvenile Court
LC No. 93-018830 NA
Respondent-Appellant,
and
MICHELLE LECLAIR,
Respondent.
Before: Wahls, P.J., and Jansen and Gage, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the juvenile court order terminating his parental
rights to Jason Oklad, Jena Oklad and Justin Oklad 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 under subsections (3)(c)(i) and (g). MCR 5.974(I); In re
Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Further, respondent-appellant failed to show that
termination of his parental rights was clearly not in the children’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). Thus, the juvenile court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the
children. Id.
Affirmed.
