COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of ALAKE RADHIYA SCOTT and
ZAIRE UKIAH SCOTT, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
February 9, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 210272
Wayne Juvenile Court
LC No. 93-309711
KEVIN CALE,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
MARY THERESA SCOTT and DARRYL HAMILTON,
Respondents.
Before: Gribbs, P.J., and Saad and P.H. Chamberlain*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals by delayed leave granted from the juvenile court order
terminating his parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i), (g) and (j);
MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm.
Respondent-appellant claims that the trial court failed to make findings of fact in accordance
with MCR 2.517(A). However, MCR 5.974(G) is the applicable court rule governing a trial court's
findings of fact at a proceeding to terminate parental rights. A review of the record reveals that the trial
court made "[b]rief, definite, and pertinent" findings in compliance with MCR 2.517(A). Moreover, it is
apparent that the trial court was aware of the issues in the case and correctly applied the law. Triple E
* Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment.

Produce Corp v Mastronardi Produce, Ltd, 209 Mich App 165, 176; 530 NW2d 772 (1995).
Appellate review would not be facilitated by requiring further explanation. Id.
Respondent's remaining issues are not preserved for appeal because they are not set forth in
respondent's statement of questions involved. MCR 7.212(C)(5); Lansing v Hartsuff, 213 Mich App
338, 351; 539 NW2d 781 (1995).
Affirmed.
