COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of KANE CHRISTOPHER
BIANCHI, Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
December 18, 2001
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 233506
Ingham Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 00-304711-NA
CHRIS AARON BIANCHI,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
TRACY BIANCHI,
Respondent.
Before: Meter, P.J., and Jansen and Gotham*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the circuit court order terminating his
parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g), and (j). We affirm. This
appeal is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
The circuit 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 child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); In re
Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 356-357; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). Therefore, the circuit court did not err in
terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the minor child.
