FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
May 18, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 215491
St Clair Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 98-004180
CAROL THRALL,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
CLIFFORD THRALL,
Respondent.
Before: Griffin, P.J., and Cavanagh and Fitzgerald, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right the family court order terminating her parental rights to
the minor child pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(g), (i), (j) and (l); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g), (i), (j)
and (l). 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. In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564
NW2d 156 (1997); In re Vasquez, 199 Mich App 44, 51-52; 501 NW2d 231 (1993). In addition,
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). Therefore, the family court did not
err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the child. In re Hall-Smith, supra.
