STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of MONICA WOODS, Minor. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED February 23, 2001 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 227112 Washtenaw Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 97-024621-NA NEKILYA WOODS, Respondent-Appellant. Before: Meter, P.J., and Neff and O’Connell, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent appeals as of right from the family court order terminating her parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g), (j) and (l); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g), (j) and (l). This appeal is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). 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(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Further, the evidence did not show 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, 462 Mich 341, 356-357; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). Thus, the family court did not err in terminating respondent's parental rights to the child. Id. Affirmed. /s/ Patrick M. Meter /s/ Janet T. Neff /s/ Peter D. O’Connell -1-
