COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of NITHDANIEL MARTIN, Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
November 24, 1998
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 209945
St. Clair Juvenile Court
LC No. 96-000166
DAWN MARTIN,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Young, Jr., P.J., and Wahls and Jansen, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals as of right the juvenile court’s order terminating her parental rights to the
minor child pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g) and
(j). We affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
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 Conley, 216 Mich App 41, 42;
549 NW2d 353 (1996). Further, respondent 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 HallSmith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the juvenile court did not err in
terminating respondent’s parental rights to the child. Id.
Affirmed.
