STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of KEVIN LEVI SNOOK and ALEXANDER L. SNOOK, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED September 11, 1998 Petitioner-Appellee, v KEVIN LEE SNOOK, JR. and PENNY PATRICIA SNOOK, No. 206731 Kalamazoo Juvenile Court LC No. 92-00037 NA Respondents-Appellants. Before: Holbrook, Jr., P.J., and Wahls and Cavanagh, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondents appeal as of right from a juvenile court order terminating their parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (c)(ii) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b) (3)(c)(i), (c)(ii) 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, respondents failed to show that termination of their 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 respondents’ parental rights to the children. Id. Affirmed. /s/ Donald E. Holbrook, Jr. /s/ Myron H. Wahls /s/ Mark J. Cavanagh -1­
