UNPUBLISHED

Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 219877
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 94-317011
JAMES DOUGLAS BAGWELL,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Kelly, P.J., and White and Wilder, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent James Douglas Bagwell appeals as of right from the family court order terminating
his parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g) and (j); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g) and (j). We affirm.
Upon review of the record, we find that 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 his parental rights was clearly not in
the best interests of the child. 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’s parental rights to the child. Id.
Affirmed.
