COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of JANET MARIE JENNINGS, Minor
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY
UNPUBLISHED
June 16, 1998
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 207524
St. Joseph Juvenile Court
LC No. 97-000033
MARK ANTHONY SHELTON,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
DAWN MARIE JENNINGS,
Respondent.
Before: Wahls, P.J., and Jansen and Gage, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from a juvenile court order terminating his parental
rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii) and (h); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3) (a)(ii) and
(h). 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 his parental rights
was clearly not in the child’s best interest. In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470; 564 NW2d 156
(1997). Thus, the juvenile court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s
