COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of ALAKE RADHIYA SCOTT and
ZAIRE UKIAH SCOTT, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
October 9, 1998
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 206303
Wayne Juvenile Court
LC No. 93-309711
MARY THERESA SCOTT,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
KEVIN CALE and DARRYL HAMILTON,
Respondents.
Before: Whitbeck, P.J., and McDonald and T. G. Hicks*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right the juvenile court order terminating her parental rights
to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(i), (c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(b)(i), (c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm. 1
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). Furthermore, respondent-appellant failed to show that termination of her 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-appellant’s parental rights.
