STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS ____________________________________ In the Matter of LAWRENCE GENE FISHER and ADONIS ANTHONY MCGHEE, Minors. ____________________________________ FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED March 3, 1998 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 203058 Wayne Juvenile Court LC No. 90-287664 BLANUATE MCGHEE-FISHER, Respondent-Appellant. ____________________________________ Before: Markey, P.J., and Doctoroff and Smolenski, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent appeals by right the juvenile court order terminating her parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm. This appeal has been decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). The juvenile court did not 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); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Further, the court’s findings of fact were in conformity with the evidence presented at trial. Lastly, respondent failed to put forth any evidence from which the juvenile court could conclude that termination was clearly not in the children’s best interests. Hence, the court’s decision to terminate respondent’s parental rights was in conformity with the requirements of MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5). In re Hall-Smith, supra. Affirmed. /s/ Jane E. Markey /s/ Martin M. Doctoroff /s/ Michael R. Smolenski -1­ -2­
