FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
August 28, 2001
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
SHERRIE JOHNSON,
No. 233359
Washtenaw Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 99-024806-NA
Respondent-Appellant,
and
KEITH BOYD,
Respondent.
Before: Fitzgerald, P.J., and Gage and C. H. Miel*, 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)(c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm. This
case is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
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 respondentappellant’s parental rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); In
* Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment.

re Trejo Minors, 462 Mich 341, 356-357; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). Thus, the family court did not
err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children.
Affirmed.
