Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 223824
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 91-292443
BEVERLY ANN WINFREY,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
DAVID MARTIN,
Respondent.
.
Before: Neff, P.J., and Talbot and J.B. Sullivan,* JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the family court order terminating her parental
rights pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(g), (i) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g), (i) and (j). We
affirm.
After carefully reviewing the record, we are satisfied that the family court did not clearly err in
finding that § 19b(3)(g), (i) and (j) were established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I);
In re Sours, 459 Mich 624, 633; 593 NW2d 520 (1999). Further, we find no clear error in the family
court’s finding that termination was in the best interest of the children. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27
.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 364-365; 612 NW2d 407 (2000).
* Former Court of Appeals judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment.
-1
Respondent’s lengthy history of drug use and the loss of parental rights to other children,
notwithstanding substantial agency efforts, amply support the family court’s decision. In re Trejo,
supra; In re Sours, supra.
Affirmed.
/s/ Janet T. Neff
