FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
October 3, 2000
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
BRENDA KAY WHITE,
No. 223203
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 99-374992
Respondent-Appellant,
and
HARRY FOUNTAIN DOLLEY, SR., a/k/a HARRY
FUNDTON DOLLEY,
Respondent.
Before: McDonald, P.J., and Sawyer and White, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the family court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(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; In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445
NW2d 161 (1989). Further, the evidence did not establish that termination of respondent-appellant’s
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 err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children.
Affirmed.
