COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of JEDIDIAH SPIERS, CARRIE LIN
SPIERS and JESSICA M. SPIERS, Minors
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
December 12, 1997
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 203132
Grand Traverse Juvenile Court
LC No. 95-000267 NA
LINDA KAY STUART,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
WALTER SPIERS,
Respondent.
Before: MacKenzie, P.J., and Hood and Hoekstra, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the juvenile court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i)
and (g). We affirm.
The juvenile 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). The facts of this case are distinguishable from In re Newman, 189 Mich App 61;
472 NW2d 38 (1991). Further, the juvenile court did not clearly err in ruling to terminate respondent
appellant’s parental rights. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Hall-Smith, 222
Mich App 470; 564 NW2d 156 (1997).
