STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of Brittany Greer, John Greer, Jr., Brandy Greer and Jordan Greer, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED June 27, 2000 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 220385 Saginaw Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 98-25168-NA JOHN GREER, SR., Respondent-Appellant. Before: Gage, P.J., and Gribbs and Sawyer, JJ. PER CURIAM. Respondent appeals as of right from the family court order terminating his parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(i), (g), and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b) (i), g), and (j). We affirm. The family court did not clearly err in finding that 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). Respondent made very little effort to comply with the parent/agency agreement in this matter. He failed to attend parenting or anger management classes, did not comply with substance abuse counseling or screening, and did not provide financial support or a proper home for the children. The primary issues of substance abuse and domestic violence were never adequately addressed or resolved by respondent. Further, respondent failed to show that termination of his parental rights was not in -1­ the best interest of the children. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.10b)(5); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Affirmed. /s/ Hilda R. Gage /s/ Roman S. Gribbs /s/ David H. Sawyer -2­
