VERITA WAHKEIA RAYMOND, and MONIQUE
MARIE COLLIER, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
February 19, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 208748
Wayne Juvenile Court
LC No. 94-315123
JACQUELYN MICHELLE RAYMOND,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
JEFFREY SCOTT COLLIER and HOWARD
IRVIN, JR.,
Respondents.
Before: Murphy, P.J., and MacKenzie and Talbot, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals by delayed leave granted the lower 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.
The lower 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, 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).
-1
Thus, the lower court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children.
Id.
Affirmed.
/s/ William B. Murphy
