COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of JASON MORIARTY, Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
October 15, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 211963
Washtenaw Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 91-021951 NA
ELAINE MORIARTY,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
MICHAEL GLOE,
Respondent.
Before: Hood, P.J., and Holbrook, Jr. and Fitzgerald, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right the family court order terminating her parental rights to
the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (c)(ii) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(c)(i), (c)(ii) and
(g). We affirm.
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 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.
