Respondents.
Before: McDonald, P.J., and Sawyer and White, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Respondents-appellants Brenda Lee Maynard and John Michael Marshall, Jr., appeal as of
right from the family court’s order terminating their parental rights to the minor children. The family
court terminated respondent Maynard’s parental rights under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(ii), (g), (j), and
(m); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(b)(ii), (g), (j), and (m). The court terminated respondent Marshall’s
parental rights under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(i), (g), and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(b)(i), (g), and
(j). We affirm.
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, the evidence did not establish that termination of respondents-appellants’
parental rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Trejo Minors, 462 Mich 341, 354; 603 NW2d 787 (2000). Thus, the
family court did not clearly err in terminating respondents-appellants’ parental rights to the children.
We also reject respondent Marshall’s claim that he was denied due process. The family court
complied with MCR 5.974(D)(3). The petition adequately informed respondent Marshall of the
statutory bases on which termination of his parental rights was sought. In re Perry, 193 Mich App
648, 651; 484 NW2d 768 (1992). Moreover, the family court’s judicial notice of respondent
Marshall’s juvenile delinquency file was appropriate. In re Stowe, 162 Mich App 27, 33; 412 NW2d
655 (1987).
Affirmed.
