STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of CHELSEA HURLEY and AURORA HURLEY, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED September 17, 1999 Petitioner-Appellee, v Nos. 216766;216767 Ottawa Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 97-000187 NA AMBER HURLEY and CHRISTOPHER HURLEY, Respondents-Appellants. Before: Markman, P.J., and Saad and P.D. Houk,* JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondents appeal as of right from a family court order terminating their parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g). We affirm. The trial court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory ground for termination was established by clear and convincing evidence with respect to each respondent. MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Neither respondent argues that termination of their parental rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b(5). Thus, the trial court did not err in terminating respondents’ parental rights to the children. In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Affirmed. /s/ Stephen J. Markman /s/ Henry William Saad /s/ Peter D. Houk * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1
