STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of DA’NTE DEMARCO INGRAM, Minor. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED June 9, 2000 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 218279 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 95-323410 KESHIA LATRICE INGRAM, Respondent-Appellant, and EDWARD ZIMILIST GRIFFIN, 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), (h) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g), (h) 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 Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Further, respondent-appellant 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 Boursaw, 239 Mich App 161, 179-180; 607 NW2d 408 (1999), In re -1­ 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 /s/ Donald E. Holbrook, Jr. /s/ Brian K. Zahra -2­
