STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of JASMINE SNYDER, MICHAEL HAGGERTY, and CHRISTEN HAGGERTY, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED August 10, 1999 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 216852 Manistee Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 96-006049 NA DEBORAH HAGGERTY, Respondent-Appellant. Before: White, P.J., and Markey and Wilder, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent appeals as of right from a family court order terminating her parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i). We affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). The family court, which is permitted to apprise itself of all relevant considerations, In re Jackson, 199 Mich App 22, 26; 501 NW2d 182 (1993), did not clearly err in finding that the statutory ground for termination was established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 Mich 161 (1998). Respondent does not argue that termination of her parental rights 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, 473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the family court did not err in terminating respondent’s parental rights to the children. Affirmed. /s/ Helene N. White /s/ Jane E. Markey /s/ Kurtis T. Wilder -1
