COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of RACHAEL MARCI ORTASIEFMAN, Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
April 25, 2000
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 220055
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 97-358674
DIANE SHARON SEIFMAN,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
FERNANDO ORTA,
Respondent.
Before: Gribbs, P.J., and Hoekstra and Markey, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals by right from the family court order terminating her parental rights
to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(ii), (c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA
27A.3178(598.19b)(3)(b)(ii), (c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm.
The family court did not clearly err in finding that subsections (3)(b)(ii), (c)(i), (g) and (j) were
established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445
NW2d 161 (1989). Because respondent-appellant failed to demonstrate that termination was clearly
not in the child’s best interests, MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5), the family court did
not err in terminating her parental rights to the child. In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473;
564 NW2d 156 (1997).
