FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
July 28, 2000
Petitioner -Appellee,
v
No. 220729
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 97-350282
PATRICIA ANN BEAUDET,
Respondent,
and
GILBERT SANCHEZ,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Hood, P.J., and Sawyer and Cavanagh, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent Gilbert Sanchez appeals as of right from the trial court’s order terminating his
parental rights to the minor children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(ii), (c)(i), (g), and (j); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(b)(ii), (c)(i), (g), and (j). We affirm.
A court may terminate parental rights if the court finds, by clear and convincing evidence, that
one of the statutory grounds for termination exists. MCL 712A.19b(3); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3);
In re McIntyre, 192 Mich App 47, 50; 480 NW2d 293 (1991). The trial court did not clearly err in
finding that the statutory grounds for termination were established by clear and convincing evidence. In
re Hamlet (After Remand), 225 Mich App 505, 515; 571 NW2d 750 (1997). Furthermore,
respondent failed to demonstrate that termination of his
-1
parental rights was clearly not in the best interests of the children. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA family
court did not err in terminating respondent’s parental rights. Id.
Affirmed.
