UNPUBLISHED

Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 218651
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 98-364129
KIMBERLY MITCHELL,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
MAURICE ALTON SCOTT,
Respondent.
Before: Saad, P.J., and McDonald and Gage, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the trial court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument
pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
The trial court did not clearly err in finding t at the statutory grounds for termination were
h
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. Id.
-1
Affirmed.
