Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 219884
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 93-308980
KENNETH RAY, SR.,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: McDonald, P.J. and Gage and Talbot, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals as of right the family court order terminating his parental rights to the minor
children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g), (i), and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g), (i) and
(j). We affirm.
Only one statutory ground is required to terminate parental rights. In re Sours minors, 459
Mich 642, 641; 593 NW2d 520 (1999); In re Terry and Hankston minors, ___ Mich App ___; ___
NW2d ___ (Docket No. 214617, decided February 29, 2000), slip op at 4. We find that the family
court did not clearly err in finding that § 19b(3)(g) was established by clear and convincing evidence.
MCR 5.974(I); Sours, supra at 633. We need not determine whether the family court erred in its
findings regarding the other statutory grounds. Moreover, respondent failed to show that termination of
his parental rights was not clearly in the children’s best interest. MCL 712A19b(5); MSA 27.3178
(598.19b)(5); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997).
Affirmed.
