STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of CORY MATTHEW MCCORMICK, SYLVIA JEAN HOLLISTER, MARC EDWARD LEACH, and RICHARD WILLIAM LEACH, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED October 3, 2000 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 220951 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 91-295852 NANCY ROSE ESHELMAN, a/k/a NANCY ROSE HOLLISTER, Respondent-Appellant, and MARK LEACH, Respondent. Before: McDonald, P.J., and Sawyer and White, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from a family court order terminating her 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. Only one statutory ground is required to terminate parental rights. In re Jackson, 199 Mich App 22, 25; 501 NW2d 182 (1993). Here, the family court did not clearly err in finding that §§ 19b(3)(c)(i) and (g) were both 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). Further, the evidence did not establish that termination of respondent’s parental rights was clearly not in the children's best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re -1­ Trejo Minors, 462 Mich 341, 354; 603 NW2d 787 (2000). Thus, the family court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children. However, petitioner's request for relief under MCR 7.215(E) is denied. Affirmed. /s/ Gary R.
