Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,

April 3, 1998
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 199906
Wayne Juvenile Court
LC No. 91-292518
FAYE EMERSON PRITCHETTE,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
GREG DAVIS,
Respondent.
Before: Bandstra, P.J., and MacKenzie and N.O. Holowka*, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the juvenile court order terminating her 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.
Although respondent-appellant challenges the referee’s recommended findings, she did not seek
judicial review of the referee’s recommended findings as permitted by MCR 5.991. In any event, the
referee 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 Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470; 564 NW2d 156
(1997). Further, the referee did not clearly err in recommending that respondent-appellant’s parental

rights be terminated. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178 (598.19b)(5); In re Hall-Smith, supra at
472-473.
Respondent-appellant has demonstrated no basis for disturbing the juvenile court order
terminating her parental rights based on the referee’s recommended findings. With regard to the
petitioner’s request that our judgment be given immediate effect under MCR 7.215(E)(2), we deny the
request because we are not persuaded that this relief is justified.
We affirm.
