March 9, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
MYISHA QUANTEZ-LEAVELLE OWENS,
No. 211189
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 96-337119
Respondent-Appellant,
and
MICHAEL SHACK, DEION STEWART
and MARIO DEMETRIUS BROWN,
Respondents.
Before: McDonald, P.J., and Hood and Doctoroff, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals by delayed leave granted from the court’s order terminating her
parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i) and (g); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i) and (g). We affirm.
The court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were established
by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974; In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161
(1989). Further, respondent-appellant does not argue, nor does the record indicate, 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).
Accordingly, the court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s
-2
parental rights to the children. Id.
Affirmed.
