Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 222567
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 97-357991
MICHELLE LYNN BARKOW MCQUEEN,
Respondent,
and
SEAN DALE MCQUEEN,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Murphy, P.J., and Kelly and Talbot, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the family court’s order terminating his parental
rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument
pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
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 that termination of his parental
rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests. Pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(5) termination of parental rights was required unless the court found that termination

was clearly not in t e children’s best interest. In re Trejo, ___ Mich ___; ___ NW2d ___ (No.
h
112528, issued 7/5/2000), slip op p 27. On this record, we do not conclude that the court’s finding
was clearly erroneous or that termination was clearly not in the children’s best interest. Accordingly, the
court did not err in terminating respondent’s parental right to the children. Id.
Affirmed.
