STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of STEVEN PASCAL BLAISE, Minor. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED April 30, 1999 Petitioner-Appellee, v TONYA ROEBUCK, No. 214425 Ingham Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 004510 Respondent-Appellant, and PASCAL BLAISE, Respondent. Before: Kelly, P.J., and Neff and Smolenski, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the family court order terminating her parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(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, 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 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the family court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the child. Affirmed. /s/ Michael J. Kelly /s/ Janet T. Neff /s/ Michael R. Smolenski
