FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
February 26, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 211225
Calhoun Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 001788
VERONICA ROBINSON,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
DWIGHT GRAVES, WILLIE OLIVER
and GEORGE REED,
Respondents.
Before: McDonald, P.J., and Hood and Doctoroff, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the trial 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. 1
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-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). Thus, the trial court did not err
in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights.
