FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
July 7, 2000
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
JARRED PETERSON, a/k/a BENNIE LAMARCUS
PETERSON,
No. 220176
Oakland Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 97-063875-NA
Respondent-Appellant,
and
QUIEMEKIA PAQUANA DAVIS,
Respondent.
Before: Jansen, P.J., and Hood and Saad, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the family court order terminating his parental
rights to Quiesean Kimann Davis under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g). We
affirm.
Respondent-appellant admitted that the statutory ground for termination was established by
clear and convincing evidence. See MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161
(1989). Although respondent-appellant presented evidence with regard to the child’s best interests, the
family court found that termination of respondent-appellant’s parental rights, in lieu of placement with
relatives, was in the child’s best interests. The family court did not clearly err in this determination. In
re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997); In re McIntyre, 192 Mich
-1
App 47, 52; 480 NW2d 293 (1991). Therefore, the family court did not err in terminating respondent
appellant’s parental rights to the child. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re HallSmith, supra.
Affirmed.
