STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of CHRISTOPHER CLARK,
KATRINA CLARK, TIFFANY SCHULTZ and
ARAYA MINA OUELLETTE, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
November 30, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 218387
Monroe Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 98-013512 NA
JUANITA CLARK,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Jansen, P.J., and Hoekstra and J. R. Cooper*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from an order terminating her parental rights to the
minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g) and (j). We affirm.
The trial 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 children’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, the trial court did not err in
terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children.
Affirmed.
