FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
November 5, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 215697
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 96-348085
AKLIA MARIE SCOTT,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
TRAVIS HARDVILLE,
Respondent.
Before: Whitbeck, P.J., and Gribbs and White, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent Aklia Marie Scott appeals as of right from the family 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.
We hold that the family 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, we hold that Scott 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, we conclude that the family court did not err in terminating Scott’s parental rights to the child. Id.
