Before: White, P.J., and Markey and Wilder, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals by right from a family court order terminating his parental rights to the minor children. We affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). The record indicates that statutory grounds for termination under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(i), (j), and (k)(iii); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(b)(i), (j), and (k)(iii) were established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I). Further, respondent-appellant does not specifically argue, nor does the record indicate, that termination 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, 472-473; -1­ 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the family court did not clearly err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children. Id. We affirm. /s/ Helene N. White /s/ Jane E. Markey /s/ Kurtis T. Wilder -2­
