FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
August 8, 2000
Petitioner -Appellee,
v
KIMBERLY AMAZI,
No. 224175
Berrien Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 98-000064-NA
Respondent-Appellant,
and
WILLIAM AMAZI, JR.,
Respondent.
Before: Murphy, P.J., and Kelly and Talbot, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the family court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(ii), (c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(b)(ii), (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; In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445
NW2d 161 (1989). Pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5) termination of
parental rights was required unless the court found that termination was clearly not in the children’s best
interest. In re Trejo, ___ Mich ___ (No. 112528, issued 7/5/2000) slip op p 27. On this record, we
do not conclude that the court’s finding was clearly erroneous or that
termination was clearly not in the children’s best interest. Accordingly, the court did not err in
terminating respondent’s parental right to the children. Id.
Affirmed.
