COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of WESTLEY L. WILLIAMS, Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
May 12, 2000
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 219497
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 97-359894
INECA SCOTT,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: McDonald, P.J., and Gage and Talbot, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals as of right from a family court order terminating her parental rights to her
minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j).
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(I); In re Sours, 459 Mich 624, 633; 593
NW2d 520 (1999); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Further, respondent
failed to show that termination of her parental rights was clearly not in the child’s best interests. MCL
712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re IEM, 233 Mich App 438, 451; 592 NW2d 751
(1999). Thus, we reject respondent’s claim that the family court improperly terminated her parental
rights.
Affirmed.
