STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of DARYL MELINDA GRANTHAM and SHANELLE GRANTHAM, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED December 21, 1999 Petitioner-Appellee, v DARYL KEITH MILES, a/k/a DARYL KEITH COOK, No. 218267 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 95-324379 Respondent-Appellant, and DEBORAH ANN GRANTHAM and IRWIN McDANIEL, a/k/a IRWINE McDANIEL, Respondents. Before: Saad, P.J., and McDonald and Gage, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from an order terminating his parental rights to the minor child, Daryl Melinda Grantham, pursuant to 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 his parental rights was clearly not in the child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re -1­ 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 child. Id. Affirmed. /s/ Henry William Saad /s/ Gary R. McDonald /s/ Hilda R. Gage -2­
