STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of DEVIN SCHOONOVER, Minor. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED July 23, 1999 Petitioner-Appellee, v Nos. 212222; 212327 Oakland Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 96-060800 NA MONICA CRILLO and ROBERT SCHOONOVER, Respondents-Appellants. Before: Sawyer, P.J., and Holbrook, Jr., and W. E. Collette,* JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondents appeal as of right from the family court order terminating their parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i) and (g). We affirm. The family court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were established by clear and convincing evidence with respect to respondent Schoonover, MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989), who does not contend that termination was clearly not in the child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re HallSmith, 222 Mich App 470, 473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Respondent Crillo, who does not argue that the statutory grounds for termination were not proved, failed to show that termination of her parental rights was clearly not in the child’s best interests. Accordingly, the family court did not err in terminating respondents’ parental rights to the child. Id. Affirmed. * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1 /s/ David H. Sawyer /s/ Donald E. Holbrook, Jr. /s/ William E. Collette -2
