COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of DALE SCHALK, JR., Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
November 24, 1998
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 209452
Bay Juvenile Court
LC No. 95-005406 NA
DONNA SEVERY,
Respondent-Appellant
and
DALE WESLEY SCHALK,
Respondent.
Before: Young, Jr., P.J., and Wahls and Jansen, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from a juvenile court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g) and (i); MSA 27.3178(598.19b) (3)(g) and (i).
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; 445 NW2d
161 (1989). Further, respondent-appellant failed to show that termination of her parental rights was
clearly not in the child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19(b)(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re HallSmith, 222 Mich App 470, 472; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the juvenile court did not err in
terminating respondent-appellant's parental rights to the child. Id.
Affirmed.
