STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of WESTLEY L. WILLIAMS, Minor. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED May 12, 2000 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 219497 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 97-359894 INECA SCOTT, Respondent-Appellant. Before: McDonald, P.J., and Gage and Talbot, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent appeals as of right from a family court order terminating her parental rights to her minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm. 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 Sours, 459 Mich 624, 633; 593 NW2d 520 (1999); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Further, respondent failed to show that termination of her parental rights was clearly not in the child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re IEM, 233 Mich App 438, 451; 592 NW2d 751 (1999). Thus, we reject respondent’s claim that the family court improperly terminated her parental rights. Affirmed. /s/ Gary R. McDonald /s/ Hilda R. Gage /s/ Michael J. Talbot -1
