Before: Hood, P.J., and Griffin and O’Connell, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent Jacqueline Prather appeals as of right and respondent Kenneth Goss appeals by
delayed leave granted from the juvenile court order terminating their parental rights to the minor children
under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g), (h) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g), (h) and (j). We
affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
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. 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. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5).
Affirmed.
