STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of JON’TIA BROWN, a/k/a JON TIA BROWN, Minor. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED March 24, 2000 Petitioner-Appellee, v PATRICIA ANN DENDY, No. 218962 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 94-322369 Respondent-Appellant, and JOHNNY BROWN, Respondent. Before: Wilder, P.J., and Sawyer and Markey, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals by delayed leave granted from the family court order terminating her parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g), (i), (j) and (l); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g), (i), (j) and (l). 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; In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Moreover, respondent-appellant failed to show that termination 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. Id. Affirmed. /s/ Kurtis T. Wilder /s/ David H. Sawyer /s/ Jane E. Markey -2
