STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of TYRA EWING, Minor. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED December 19, 1997 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 203143 Kent Juvenile Court LC No. 00-375249 NA RODNEY SCOTT and MEALENE EWING, Respondents-Appellants.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 child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i) and (g). We affirm. The juvenile court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination under §§ 3(c)(i) and 3(g) were shown by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); In re Conley, 216 Mich App 41, 42; 549 NW2d 353 (1996). Because respondents failed to establish that termination was clearly not in the child’s best interests, the juvenile court’s decision to terminate their parental rights was not clearly erroneous. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Affirmed. /s/ Richard Allen Griffin /s/ Stephen J. Markman /s/ William C. Whitbeck -1
