COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of NICHOLAS LOCRICCHIO, Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
July 14, 2000
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 219127
Lapeer Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 97-001654-NA
JOHNNA LOCRICCHIO,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
KELLY G. KNIBBE,
Respondent.
Before: Wilder, P.J., and Holbrook, Jr. and McDonald, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals by delayed leave granted from a family court order terminating
her parental rights to the minor child pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i). We affirm.
The claim alleged in the initial petition was of the class that the trial court was authorized to
adjudicate and was not clearly frivolous, thereby establishing the court’s subject-matter jurisdiction over
the proceeding. In re Hatcher, 443 Mich 426, 444; 505 NW2d 834 (1993). Respondent’s
arguments on appeal involve challenges to the court’s exercise of jurisdiction. Id. Pursuant to In re
Hatcher, respondent was required to raise these issues in a direct appeal of the jurisdictional decision
and may not now collaterally attack the court’s exercise of jurisdiction in this appeal from the order
terminating her parental rights. Id.; see also In re Powers, 208 Mich App 582, 587-588; 528 NW2d
799 (1995).
Affirmed.
