MEMORANDUM.
In these consolidated appeals, respondents-appellants appeal by right from the trial
court’s termination of their parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(i),
(c)(i) and (ii), (g), and (j). This appeal is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR
7.214(E)(1)(b). We affirm.
The trial court did not clearly err in determining that §§19b(3)(b)(i), (c)(i) and (ii), (g),
and (j) were established by clear and convincing evidence and supported termination of
respondent-father’s parental rights, and in determining that §§19b(3)(c)(i) and (ii), (g), and (j)
were established by clear and convincing evidence and supported termination of respondentmother’s parental rights. MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161
(1989).
Additionally, the evidence did not show that termination of respondents-appellants’
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). Thus, the trial court did not err in terminating
respondents-appellants’ parental rights to the child.
We affirm.
/s/ Jane E. Markey
