STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of CORAL DELIGHT ANDERSON
and CHRISTOPHER M. PAXTON, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
November 30, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 217535
Antrim Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 98-000030 NA
KRISTINA ANDERSON,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Jansen, P.J., and Hoekstra and J. R. Cooper*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals as of right from the family court order terminating her parental rights to the
minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(ii); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(b)(ii). 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 her parental rights was
clearly not in the children’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’s parental rights to the children. Id.
Affirmed.
