STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of A.V., C.V., J.V. and E.V., Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED July 2, 2002 Petitioner-Appellee, No. 236757 Cheboygan Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 00-001157-NA V JAMES VERMILYEA and KEETAH VERMILYEA, Respondents-Appellants. Before: Hood, P.J., and Saad and E. M. Thomas,* JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondents-appellants appeal as of right from the order terminating their parental rights to their children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g), and (j). We affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). The trial court did not 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 respondentsappellants’ parental rights was clearly not in the best interests of the children. MCL 712A.19b(5); In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 356-357; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). The trial court therefore did not err in terminating respondents-appellants’ parental rights to the children. Affirmed. /s/ Harold Hood /s/ Henry William Saad /s/ Edward M. Thomas * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1-
