In the Matter of SHAMESHA YVETTE LEE,
CEDDRICKA SHARREL HILL, KHALIL MALIK
HILL, and KHYRAUN DECORYEN HILL,
Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
June 17, 2003
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 240969
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 97-359679
LAMONICA YVETTE LEE,
Respondent,
and
CEDERICK W. HILL,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Sawyer, P.J., and Meter and Schuette, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals by delayed leave granted from a circuit court order terminating his
parental rights to the Hill minors pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i), (g) and (j). We
affirm. This appeal is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
Respondent does not contest the sufficiency of the evidence supporting termination.
Rather he argues that the trial court’s ruling did not comply with MCR 5.974(G).
The trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law were sufficient to comply with
MCR 5.974(G)(1), now MCR 3.977(H)(1). Triple E Produce Corp v Mastronardi Produce, Ltd,
209 Mich App 165, 176; 530 NW2d 772 (1995). Although the court did not expressly identify
the statutory basis for the order, it is clear from the record that it relied on the grounds stated in
the petition as supported by the foster care worker’s testimony. That was sufficient to comply
with the court rule. In re Conley, 216 Mich App 41, 44; 549 NW2d 353 (1996); In re Toler, 193
Mich App 474, 476; 484 NW2d 672 (1992).
