STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of S.L.A.P., Minor. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED October 5, 2001 Petitioner-Appellee, v DANIEL JOE PIPP, No. 230230 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 00-388337 Respondent-Appellant, and ELIZABETH JANE PIPP, Respondent. Before: Cavanagh, P.J., and Markey and Cooper, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent appeals as of right from the trial court’s order terminating his parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g), (i) and (j). We affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). The court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were established by clear and convincing evidence. See MCR 5.974; In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Further, the court’s finding regarding the child’s best interest was not clearly erroneous. See MCL 712A.19b(5); In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 354, 364-365; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). Thus, the trial court did not err in terminating respondent’s parental rights to the child. Id. Affirmed. /s/ Mark J. Cavanagh /s/ Jane E. Markey /s/ Jessica R. Cooper
