Before: Young, Jr., P.J., and Wahls and Jansen, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
In these consolidated appeals, respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the juvenile court
order terminating her parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i).1 This case is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR
7.214(E). We affirm.
The juvenile court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory ground for termination 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 her 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 respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children.
Affirmed.
