STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of DESHUN JONES, ALMA JONES, ELON JONES, LISA JONES, and DIAMOND JONES, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED June 27, 2000 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 220286 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 90-289550 JULIA JONES, Respondent-Appellant Before: Wilder, P.J., and Holbrook, Jr. and McDonald, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent appeals as of right the family court order terminating her parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g), and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g), 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, issued 2/29/00), slip op at 4. We find that the family court did not clearly err in finding that § 19b(3)(c)(i), (g), and (j) were established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); Sours, supra at 633. Moreover, respondent failed to show that termination of her 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. /s/ Kurtis T. Wilder /s/ Donald E. Holbrook, Jr. /s/ Gary R. McDonald -1
