TINA MARIE REEVES,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
EARL DEWAYNE STEPHENS and JEFFREY
CAPPS, a/k/a JEFFERY CAPPS,
Respondents.
Before: Gribbs, P.J., and Doctoroff and T. L. Ludington*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent Reeves appeals by delayed leave granted from a family court order terminating her
parental rights to the minor children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i) and (g). We affirm.
The family court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were
established by clear and convincing evidence. In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564
NW2d 156 (1997); In re Vasquez, 199 Mich App 44, 51-52; 501 NW2d 231 (1993). In addition,
respondent failed to show that termination of her parental rights was clearly not in the children’s best

terminating respondent’s parental rights to the children. In re Hall-Smith, supra.
Affirmed.
