STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of MARRIE NYISHA JONES, a/k/a MARIE NYISHA JONES, Minor. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED February 19, 1999 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 211799 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 91-295785 MARY ANN JONES, Respondent-Appellant. Before: Murphy, P.J., and MacKenzie and Talbot, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent appeals as of right from the trial court order terminating her parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (i); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g) and (i). We affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). The trial 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 failed to show that termination of her parental rights was clearly not in the child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re HallSmith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the trial court did not err in terminating respondent’s parental rights to the child. Id. Affirmed. /s/ William B. Murphy /s/ Barbara B. MacKenzie /s/ Michael J. Talbot -1
