In the Matter of JAMES SHARP, Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
April 6, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 210917
Muskegon Circuit Court
Juvenile Division
LC No. 97-024119 NA
TRITCO SHARP,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
TIM PEFFER,
Respondent.
Before: McDonald, P.J., and Hood and Doctoroff, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from a juvenile court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(c)(i), (g)
and (j). We affirm.
The juvenile 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, the juvenile court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s
parental rights, inasmuch as 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
-1
27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472; 564 NW2d 156 (1997).
Affirmed.
/s/ Gary R. McDonald
/s/ Harold Hood
/s/ Martin M. Doctoroff
