Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 222419
Calhoun Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 98-003336-NA
TAMMY SUTHERLAND,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
DANIEL JACOBS,
Respondent.
Before: Fitzgerald, P.J., and Neff and Smolenski, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant (respondent) appeals as of right the family court order terminating her
parental rights to her three minor children under MCL 712.19b(3)(c)(i); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), MCL 712.19b(3)(g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g), and MCL
712.19b(3)(j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(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 Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445
NW2d 161 (1989). Further, respondent failed to present evidence 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 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.
