STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of CHARLENE JEAN LEE, Minor. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED August 20, 1999 Petitioner-Appellee, v ANGELA PHILLIPS, No. 209411 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 96-339018 Respondent-Appellant, and CHARLES LEE, Respondent. Before: White, P.J., and Markey and Wilder, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the family court order terminating her parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g). We affirm. Respondent-appellant does not challenge the family court’s determination that § 19b(3)(g) was established by clear and convincing evidence. Rather, she argues only that termination of her parental rights was not in the child’s best interests. Our review of the record convinces us that 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); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the family court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the child. Id. Affirmed. /s/ Helene N. White /s/ Jane E. Markey /s/ Kurtis T. Wilder -2­
