COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of MILES BRANDON WALLACE,
ERIC ANDREW WALLACE, and AUDREY
NICOLE FELPS, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
September 22, 1998
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
DOLORES ANNE WALLACE, a/k/a DOLORES
ANNE FELPS, and JIMMIE WALLACE JR.,
Nos. 207212;207344
Wayne Juvenile Court
LC No. 79-216285
Respondents-Appellants.
Before: Hood, P.J., and Griffin and O’Connell, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondents appeal as of right from the juvenile court order terminating their parental rights to
the minor children 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. 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.
