STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of KNT, LMT, and MLT, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
February 8, 2002
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
KRYSTAL THOMPSON,
No. 234262
Ingham Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 00-038706
Respondent-Appellant,
and
RODNEY ANDREWS, THOMAS PRESSLEY,
and JAMES SMITH, JR.,
Respondents.
Before: Sawyer, P.J., and O’Connell and Zahra, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the circuit court order terminating her
parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g), and (j). This case is
being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). We affirm.
The trial court did not err in determining that the allegations at issue in the supplemental
petition did not allege new or different grounds for termination. Moreover, the trial 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-appellant’s parental rights was
clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); In re Trejo Minors, 462 Mich
341, 356-357; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). The trial court, therefore, did not clearly err in
terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children.
Affirmed.
