Before: Fitzgerald, P.J., and Hood and Sawyer, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
In these consolidated appeals, respondent Greenwood appeals by leave granted from the
juvenile court order terminating her parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(i)
and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(b)(i) and (j). Respondent Owen appeals as of right from the
termination of his 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) pursuant to the same order. We affirm.
Having considered respondents’ arguments, we are not persuaded that any basis for disturbing
the termination order has been demonstrated. The juvenile court did not clearly err in finding that at
least one statutory ground for termination was established by clear and convincing evidence for both
respondents. MCR 5.974(I); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). See
also In re Powers, 208 Mich App 582; 528 NW2d 799 (1995). Further, the juvenile court did not
clearly err in terminating respondents’ parental rights.
MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Hall-Smith, supra at 472-473.
Affirmed.
/s/ E. Thomas Fitzgerald
