COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of JP, Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
November 2, 2001
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 233132
Jackson Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 00-005714-NA
JOYCE PARKS,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Whitbeck, P.J., and Neff and Hoekstra, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals as of right from the family court order terminating her
parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(i). We affirm. This case is being
decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214.
The family court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory ground for termination
was 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 child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); In re Trejo
Minors, 462 Mich 341, 356-357; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). Therefore, the circuit court did not err
in terminating respondent’s parental rights to the minor child.
Affirmed.
/s/ William C. Whitbeck
/s/ Janet T. Neff
/s/ Joel P. Hoekstra
