STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of JESSE HANKINS and AMANDA
HANKINS, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
August 3, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 210498
Branch Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 84-000021
ROY HANKINS,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
GLORIA BOYD,
Respondent.
Before: White, P.J., and Markey and Wilder, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals by delayed leave granted from a family court order terminating
his parental rights to the minor children pursuant to 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. 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 his parental rights was clearly not in the
children’s best interests.
MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5).
Therefore,
-1
the family court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children. In re
Hall-Smith, supra at 473.
We affirm.
