STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of FJF, JR., PMF, and FDF, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED May 25, 2001 Petitioner-Appellee, v LAKEYLA MICHELLE DOUGLAS, No. 230030 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 96-337840 Respondent-Appellant. Before: Neff, P.J., and Fitgerald and Markey, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-mother (“respondent”) appeals as of right the family court order terminating her parental rights to the minor children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i) and (g). We affirm. Only one statutory ground is required to terminate parental rights. In re Huisman, 230 Mich App 372, 384-385; 584 NW2d 349 (1998), overruled in part on other grounds, In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 352-353, n 10; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). The family court did not clearly err in finding that termination under either subsection 3(c)(i) or 3(g) was established by clear and convincing evidence, given respondent’s history of noncompliance with her parent-agency agreement and her failure to demonstrate that she could properly care and provide for the children within a reasonable time. MCR 5.974(I); Huisman, supra. Affirmed. /s/ Janet T. Neff /s/ E. Thomas Fitzgerald /s/ Jane E. Markey
