COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of LATOYA LEE GARWOOD
and MAYA ERICA GARWOOD, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
February 16, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 211748
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 94-321989
ROCHELLE GARWOOD,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
MELVIN GREEN,
Respondent.
Before: Murphy, P.J., and MacKenzie and Talbot, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from a juvenile court order terminating her 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. This case is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
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, the juvenile court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s
parental rights, inasmuch as she failed to demonstrate 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; 564 NW2d 156 (1997).
