STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of CHRISTIAN JERELL MILES, Minor. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED September 14, 2004 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 252291 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 95-335608 SHARONDA MICHELLE BEAVERS, Respondent-Appellant, and JEFFREY MILES, Respondent. Before: Donofrio, P.J., and White and Talbot, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent Beavers appeals by delayed leave granted from a circuit court order terminating her parental rights to the minor child pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(c), (g), (i) and (j). We affirm. This appeal is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). The trial court did not clearly err in finding that at least one statutory ground for termination had been proved by clear and convincing evidence. In re IEM, 233 Mich App 438, 450; 592 NW2d 751 (1999). Respondent neglected three of the child’s siblings and her parental rights were terminated after she failed to make significant progress toward rehabilitation. Respondent neglected a fourth sibling and her parental rights were terminated after she failed to complete another treatment plan. Thus, a statutory ground under MCL 712A.19b(3)(i) was established. Further, the trial court’s finding regarding the child’s best interests was not clearly -1- erroneous. In re Trejo Minors, 462 Mich 341, 354, 356-357; 612 NW2d 407 (2000); MCL 712A.19b(5). Therefore, the trial court did not clearly err in terminating respondent’s parental rights. Trejo, supra at 356-357. Affirmed. /s/ Pat M. Donofrio /s/ Helene N. White /s/ Michael J. Talbot -2-
