COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of A.G, P.M., and C.M., Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
August 2, 2002
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 237981
Berrien Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 99-000114-NA
SHANNON GUNN MADDEN,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
PATRIK MADDEN and KENNETH SCOTT,
Respondents.
Before: Murray, P.J., and Sawyer and Zahra, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the family court order terminating her
parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm.
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 respondentappellant’s parental rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); In
re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 356-357; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). Thus, the trial court did not err in
terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children.
Affirmed.
/s/ Christopher M. Murray
