FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
December 21, 2001
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 233720
Jackson Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 00-002435-NA
MARK ANDREW WOLFE, SR.,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
JENNIFER DONNELLY,
Respondent.
Before: Meter, P.J., and Jansen and Gotham*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the trial court’s order terminating his
parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g), and (j). We affirm the
order terminating respondent’s parental rights under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g), although
we find the court erred in terminating rights under subsection 19b(c)(j).1 This case is being
decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
The trial court did not clearly err in finding that 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
1
We note that only one statutory basis need be established to warrant termination. In re Trejo,
462 Mich 341, 360; 612 NW2d 407 (2000).
