Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 214297
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 96-343025
STACY LYNN ARTLEY,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
JIMMY FLANAGAN,
Respondent.
Before: Griffin, P.J., and Zahra and S.L. Pavlich*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from a family court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument
pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
The family court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were
established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445
NW2d 161 (1989). Further, respondent-appellant failed to show 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
* Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment.

Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1977). Thus, the family court did not err

Affirmed.
