COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of CHERRINITA HARPER and
KALIAH HARPER, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
May 25, 2001
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 226528
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 97-359982
EVELYN HARPER,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Jansen, P.J., and Zahra and Owens, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals as of right from the trial court’s 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. This case is being decided without oral
argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E)(1).
The trial 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 show 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 Trejo Minors, 462 Mich 341, 356-357; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). Thus,
the trial court did not err in terminating respondent’s parental rights to the children.
Affirmed.
