COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of JASON WOOD and ALEXANDRA
WOOD, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
March 31, 2000
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 218705
Calhoun Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 98-001000-NA
JASON WOOD, JR.,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
ANGELA WOOD,
Respondent.
Before: Wilder, P.J., and Sawyer and Markey, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the trial court’s order terminating his parental
rights to the minor children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm.
The trial court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were
established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.74(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445
NW2d 161 (1989). Further, respondent-appellant failed to show that termination of his 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 trial court did not err in
terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children. Id.
-1
Affirmed.
