Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 211834
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 95-332479
KASCAL COLEMAN,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
FELISHIA SHINE-NEAL,
Respondent.
Before: O’Connell, P.J. and Jansen and Collins, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the family court order terminating his parental
rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii), (b)(i) and (ii), (c)(i), (g), and (j); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(a)(ii), (b)(i) and (ii), (c)(i), (g), and (j). We affirm.
The trial court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination under MCL
712A.19b(3)(b)(i) and (ii), (c)(i), (g), and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(b)(i) and (ii), (c)(i), (g), and
(j) 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 does not specifically argue, nor does the
record indicate, that termination of respondent-appellant’s parental rights was clearly not in the
children’s best interests. MCL 7
12A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Hall-Smith, 222

Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997).

Thus, the court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the child. Id.
Affirmed.
