STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS ___________________________________________ In the Matter of KLETHA D. FOWLER and KRYSTAL D. FOWLER, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED March 26, 1999 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 211413 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 91-292230 ERICA SHERICE FOWLER, a/k/a ERICA SHERISSE FOWLER, Respondent-Appellant, and KLETHA HOLSTON, Respondent. Before: O’Connell, P.J. and Jansen and Collins, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the family court order terminating her parental rights to the minor children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i) and (g). We affirm. 1 The 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 HallSmith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Finally, upon review of the record, we find no merit in respondent’s argument that the Family Independence Agency failed to make reasonable efforts toward reunification. For these reasons, -1­ the family court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the child. Affirmed. /s/ Peter D. O’Connell /s/ Kathleen Jansen /s/ Jeffrey G. Collins 1 The respondent father of the minor children, Kletha Holston, has not appealed the termination of his parental rights. -2­
