STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of KNT, LMT, and MLT, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED February 8, 2002 Petitioner-Appellee, v KRYSTAL THOMPSON, No. 234262 Ingham Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 00-038706 Respondent-Appellant, and RODNEY ANDREWS, THOMAS PRESSLEY, and JAMES SMITH, JR., Respondents. Before: Sawyer, P.J., and O’Connell and Zahra, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the circuit court order terminating her parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g), and (j). This case is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). We affirm. The trial court did not err in determining that the allegations at issue in the supplemental petition did not allege new or different grounds for termination. Moreover, 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-appellant’s parental rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); In re Trejo Minors, 462 Mich 341, 356-357; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). The trial court, therefore, did not clearly err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children. Affirmed. /s/ David H. Sawyer /s/ Peter D. O’Connell /s/ Brian K. Zahra
