LINDA WISEMAN, a/k/a LINDA RENEE SMITH,
a/k/a LINDA RENE SMITH,
No. 211505
Wayne County Circuit Court
Juvenile Division
LC No. 81-223719
Respondent-Appellant,
and
JUNIOR LEE WISEMAN, RICHARD BAKER, and
LESLIE THOMAS,
Respondents.
Before: McDonald, P.J., and Hood and Doctoroff, 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)(c)(i)
and (g). We affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
-1
The family court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were
established by clear and convincing evidence. MCL 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445
NW2d 161 (1989); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). 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). Thus, the family court did
not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children.
Affirmed.
