COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of DAKOTA MAGNAN and
ALICIA MARIE MAGNAN, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
September 18, 1998
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
WILLIAM MAGNAN,
No. 207225
Mecosta Juvenile Court
LC No. 95-002828 NA
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Hood, P.J., and Griffin and O’Connell, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals as of right from a juvenile court order terminating his parental rights to the
minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (c)(ii), and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b) (3)(c)(i),
(c)(ii), and (g). 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). Further, respondent failed to show that termination of his parental rights was
clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re
Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the juvenile court did not
err in terminating respondent’s parental rights.
Affirmed.
