STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of ALIXIS TRUSS-TROUBLEFIELD, Minor. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED October 8, 1999 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 215810 Saginaw Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 97-024822 NA ALIX TROUBLEFIELD, Respondent-Appellant. Before: Griffin, P.J., and Zahra and S.L. Pavlich*, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent appeals as of right from a family court order terminating his parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i). We affirm. The family 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 his 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); see also MCR 5.974(E)(2). Thus, the family court did not err in terminating respondent’s parental rights to the child. Affirmed. /s/ Richard Allen Griffin /s/ Brian K. Zahra /s/ Scott L. Pavlich * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1
