STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of STEPHENIE MARIE LANE, Minor. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED October 3, 2000 Petitioner -Appellee, v No. 221012 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 93-306642 MICHELLE LYNN GRACE, Respondent -Appellant, and STEVEN LANE, 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 child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(i), (j) and (l); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(i), (j) and (l). 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; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Further, the evidence did not establish that termination of respondent-appellant’s parental rights was clearly not in the child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Trejo Minors, ___ Mich ___; ___ NW2d ___ (Docket No. 112528, -1­ decided 7/5/2000), slip op at 14, 17. Thus, the family court did not err in terminating respondent­ appellant’s parental rights to the child. Id. Affirmed. /s/ Gary R. McDonald /s/ David H. Sawyer /s/ Helene N. White -2­
