COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of BRANDON ALLEN TODD, Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
October 9, 1998
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 206921
Wayne Juvenile Court
LC No. 94-320964
FRANCINE TODD,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
LAWRENCE CLEMARK JACKSON,
Respondent.
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 child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g), and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b) (3)(c)(i), (g),
and (j). We affirm.
The juvenile court did not clearly err in finding that statutory grounds for termination were
established under §§ 19b(3)(c)(i) and (g), by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); In re
Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Further, respondent-appellant failed to show that
termination of her parental rights was clearly not in the best interests of the child. 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.
