DEMETRIS ANTONIO HINTON, JR., and
ANTHONY NIGE’L HINTON, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
April 27, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
DEMETRIS ANTONIO HINTON and MICHELLE
DENISE LEE,
Nos. 212034;212148
Wayne Juvenile Court
LC No. 96-345236
Respondent-Appellants.
Before: Gage, P.J., and Gribbs and Hoekstra, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondents appeal as of right from the juvenile court order terminating their parental rights to
the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i) and (g).
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, respondents failed to show that termination of their 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, 473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the juvenile court did not err in
terminating respondents’ parental rights to the children. Id.
Affirmed.
