STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of JUSTIN MYRON LAWRENCE
JONES, Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
October 3, 2000
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
DORIAN JONES,
No. 222341
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 97-350398
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: McDonald, P.J., and Sawyer and White, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the family court order terminating his parental
rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i) and
(g). 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). Further, the evidence did not establish that termination of respondent’s parental
rights was clearly not in the child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In
re Trejo Minors, 462 Mich 341, 354; 603 NW2d 787 (2000). Thus, the family court did not err in
terminating respondent’s parental rights to the child.
Affirmed.
