STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS __________________________________________ In the Matter of MONAY JONES, Minor. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED December 19, 1997 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 200491 Genesee Juvenile Court LC No. 93-095245 NA LAQISTIS JONES, Respondent-Appellant. Before: MacKenzie, P.J., and Hood and Hoekstra, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent appeals as of right from the juvenile court order terminating his parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (ii), (g), and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3) (c)(i), (ii), (g), and (j). We affirm. The juvenile court did not clearly err in finding that 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, in the absence of evidence from which the court could conclude that the termination was not in the child’s best interest, the decision to terminate respondent’s parental rights complied with MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5). In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-474; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Affirmed. /s/ Barbara B. MacKenzie /s/ Harold Hood /s/ Joel P. Hoekstra -1
