COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of BUSTER JAMES BRYANT, Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
May 30, 2000
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
PHYLLISTINE CARRY BRYANT,
No. 220998
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 97-357945
Respondent-Appellant,
and
EUGENE HOLLIS, JR., a/k/a EUGENE HOLLINS,
JR.,
Respondent.
Before: Hoekstra, P.J., and Holbrook, Jr., and Zahra, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the family court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i),
(g) and (j).1 We affirm.
Any error in the family court’s finding that respondent-appellant “continues to lack insight into
her mental health issues” was harmless, inasmuch as this was just one of several factors mentioned by
the court as a basis for its conclusion that the statutory grounds for termination were established, and the
court’s remaining findings of fact amply support its conclusion that the grounds for termination under
§§ 19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j) were established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974; In re
Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Respondent-appellant does not allege 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 Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997).
Thus, the family court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the child. Id.
Affirmed.
/s/ Joel P. Hoekstra

Although respondent-appellant asserts that her parental rights were also terminated under
§ 19b(3)(a)(ii), the record indicates that only the father’s parental rights were terminated under that
subsection.
