In the Matter of MONTEL MENIFEE, JR., Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
September 24, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 215020
Genesee Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 97-108690 NA
LANESSA DEYONTA ROBINSON,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Markman, P.J., and Saad and P.D. Houk,* JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals as of right from the trial court’s order terminating her parental rights to the
minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(i); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(b)(i). We affirm.
The trial court 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
NW2d 161 (1989). Further, respondent 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 HallSmith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the trial court did not err in
terminating respondent’s parental rights to the child. Id.
Affirmed.
