FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
February 26, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 213884
Kalamazoo Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 97-000033 NA
BETTY JEAN SANDERS,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
WILLIAM E. ANTHONY,
Respondent.
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 child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g). 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 ground for termination was
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 child’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 to the child. Id.
