Petitioner-Appellee,
v

WASHINGTON JOHNSON,
and
GEORGE
Nos. 211960; 212233
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 93-311228
Respondents-Appellants,
and
MICHAEL ALAN PRITT,
Respondent.
Before: Gage, P.J., and Gribbs and Hoekstra, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
In these consolidated appeals, respondents-appellants appeal as of right from a family court
order terminating their parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j);
MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm. This case is being decided without oral
argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
The family 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-appellants failed to show that termination of their parental
rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA
-1
27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the
family court did not err in terminating respondents-appellants’ parental rights to the children. Id.
Affirmed.
