STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of TIARA LASHONDA GLOVER and ERICKA CIARA GLOVER, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED August 7, 1998 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 206184 Wayne County Juvenile Court LC No. 96-337333 VANESSA GLOVER, Respondent-Appellant, and GERALD DAVIS and COURTNEY BROWN, Respondents. Before: Murphy, P.J., and Young, Jr. and M. R. Smith*, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent Glover appeals as of right from a juvenile court order terminating her parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i), (g), and (j); MSA 27.3178 (598.19b)(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i), (g), and (j). 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 failed to show that termination of her parental rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1­ Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the juvenile court did not err in terminating respondent’s parental rights to the children. Id. Respondent argues that because she substantially performed her obligations under the Parent Agency Agreement, her parental rights should not be terminated. However, respondent offers no authority for applying the contract doctrine of substantial performance to a case such as this. Therefore, the issue is waived. Patterson v Allegan Co Sheriff, 199 Mich App 638, 640; 502 NW2d 368 (1993). Affirmed. /s/ William B. Murphy /s/ Robert P. Young, Jr. /s/ Michael R. Smith -2­
