STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of TAVARUS MITCHELL MUNTAQIM, Minor. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED February 12, 1999 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 204401 Wayne Juvenile Court LC No. 82-231641 TAMITA A. MUNTAQIM, Respondent-Appellant, and GHALIB ABDUL MUNTAQIM BEY, a/k/a GHALIB ABDUL MUNTAGIM and ABDUL MUNTAGIM BEY, Respondent. Before: Gribbs, P.J., and Saad and P. H. Chamberlain,* JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the juvenile court order terminating her parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i) and (g). 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 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 child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1 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 to the child. Id. Affirmed. /s/ Roman S. Gribbs /s/ Henry William Saad /s/ Paul H. Chamberlain -2
