Respondent.
Before: O’Connell, P.J., and Meter and T. G. Hicks*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
In these consolidated appeals, respondents appeal as of right from the family c
ourt order
terminating their parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g), (i), (j) and (l); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g), (i), (j) and (l). We affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument
pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
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, respondents failed to show that termination of their parental rights was
clearly not in the child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re HallSmith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the family court did not err in
terminating respondents’ parental rights to the child. Id. at 472.
Affirmed.
