STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of MARISSA LYNN COLE and CHARLES K. HERWIG, JR., Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED March 31, 2000 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 219732 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 97-352256 VERONICA SUE STANLEY COLE, Respondent-Appellant, and DANIEL DENNIE and CHARLES KENDALL HERWIG, Respondents. Before: Wilder, P.J., and Sawyer and Markey, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals by right from an 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). The trial 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). Although respondent-appellant complied with some of the requirements of the parent/agency agreement, the evidence indicated that she did not benefit from the services provided. Further, 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); In re -1­ 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. We affirm. /s/ Kurtis T. Wilder /s/ David H. Sawyer /s/ Jane E. Markey -2­
