COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of BLAINE VALENTINO MILLER,
Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
November 12, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 216167
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 95-326694
PATRICIA LYNN MILLER,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
LARRY BLEVINS,
Respondent.
Before: Whitbeck, P.J., and Gribbs and White, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the family court 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.
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). Contrary to what respondent-appellant argues, the court’s decision was not
improperly based on idle speculation. See In re Hulbert, 186 Mich App 600; 465 NW2d 36 (1990).
Further, she 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
-1
Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1977). Thus, the family court did not err in terminating her
parental rights to the child. Id.
Affirmed.
