STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of SHAUNA DAVIS and JAMIE DAVIS, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED December 19, 1997 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 201762 Kent Juvenile Court LC No. 95-000390 NA SCOTT DAVIS and SUSAN DAVIS, Respondents-Appellants. Before: Griffin, P.J., and Markman and Whitbeck, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondents appeal as of right from the juvenile court order terminating their parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(i), (b)(ii), (c)(i) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(b)(i), (b)(ii), (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). Further, respondents have not challenged the trial court’s decision to terminate based on the best interests of the children. In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the juvenile court did not err in terminating respondents’ parental rights to the children. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5). Affirmed. /s/ Richard Allen Griffin /s/ Stephen J. Markman /s/ William C. Whitbeck -1
