The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the trial court terminating Father's parental rights to his minor child, holding that there was no error or abuse of discretion.

Father appealed, and his counsel filed a no-merit brief on Father's behalf. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial court (1) did not err in determining that grounds existed to support the termination of Father's parental rights to his child; and (2) did not abuse its discretion in concluding that it would be in the child's best interests to terminate Father's parental rights.
