In the Matter of DOUGLAS G. GEREN, JR., Minor.

UNPUBLISHED
September 18, 1998
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 208026
Hillsdale Juvenile Court
LC No. 97-031564 NA
MICHELE MASON,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
DOUGLAS G. GEREN, SR.,
Respondent.
Before: Hood, P. J., and Griffin and O'Connell, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent Michele Mason appeals as of right the juvenile court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor child. We affirm.
The juvenile court did not clearly err in finding that statutory grounds for termination were
established under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g) and (i); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g) and (i), by clear and
convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989).
Further, respondent Mason failed to show that termination of her parental rights was clearly not in the
child’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 Mason’s parental rights to the child. Id.
Affirmed.
