Before: Wilder, P.J., and Sawyer and Markey, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals by delayed leave granted from a family court order terminating
her parental rights to the minor children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i) and (g). We affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument
pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
-1
The family court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were
established by clear and convincing evidence. In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564
NW2d 156 (1997); In re Vasquez, 199 Mich App 44, 51-52; 501 NW2d 231 (1993). In addition,
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). Therefore, the family court
did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children. In re Hall-Smith,
supra.
Affirmed.
