Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
March 24, 2000
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 218706
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 94-315028
REYNELDA BANDARI,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
TYLER BARNES and RANDOLPH BLAIR,
Respondents.
Before: Wilder, P.J., and Sawyer and Markey, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from a family court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor children under 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). Despite the number of caseworkers assigned to this case, respondent-appellant
was offered adequate services and assistance to address the goals of her treatment plan, but failed to
make significant progress in meeting the goals of the plan. Further, respondent-appellant failed to show
-1
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-appellant's parental
rights to the children. Id.
Affirmed.
