Before: Cooper, P.J., and Jansen and R. J. Danhof*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
In these consolidated appeals, respondent Charlene Rau appeals as of right, and
respondent Dale Anderson appeals by delayed leave granted, from the trial court’s order
terminating their parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(i), (j) and (l). We
affirm.
The trial court did not err in finding that termination of respondent Anderson’s parental
rights was warranted at the initial dispositional hearing. MCR 5.974(D). Because at least one
ground for termination was established, the court was required to terminate respondentappellant's parental rights unless the court found that termination was clearly not in the child's
best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 364-365; 612 NW2d 407 (2000).
The court’s finding regarding the child’s best interests was clearly not erroneous. Trejo, supra.
Affirmed.
