In the Matter of RAYCHEL ELLEN AVERY, Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
October 30, 1998
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 207285
Wayne Juvenile Court
LC No. 96-338609
DENNIS AVERY,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
REGINA GREENE,
Respondent.
Before: Young, Jr., P.J., and Wahls and Jansen, 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), (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 at least one statutory ground for termination,
specifically § 19b(3)(g), was 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 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 respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the minor
child. Id.
-1
Affirmed.
