STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS ____________________________________ In the Matter of ANTONIO LAVELL COSEY, TARRELL LASHON COSEY, LASHON COSEY, FATEMA MONIQUE COSEY and MARLON DEANGELO COSEY, Minors. ____________________________________ FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED March 6, 1998 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 202267 Wayne Juvenile Court LC No. 92-302852 PATRICIA ANN COSEY, Respondent-Appellant, and MATTHEW THOMAS, TONY WEBSTER, ANTHONY PERKINS and THOMAS CURTIS, Respondents. __________________________________ Before: Markey, P.J., and Doctoroff and Smolenski, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent Patricia Ann Cosey appeals by right the juvenile court order terminating her parental rights to the subject 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. 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); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Further, -1 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 -2
