STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS


In the Matter of BRYAN PAUL JENNINGS, Minor.

FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY Petitioner-Appellee, v ANGEL LYNN MOYER, Respondent-Appellant, and OTIS PAUL MAXWELL JENNINGS, Respondent.

UNPUBLISHED April 3, 1998

No. 206727 Kalamazoo Juvenile Court LC No. 96-000016 NA

Before: Bandstra, P.J., and MacKenzie and N.O. Holowka*, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from a juvenile court order terminating her parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i) and (g). We affirm. The juvenile 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); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Further, respondent-appellant failed to show that termination of her parental rights was clearly not in the child's best interest. In re Hall-Smith, supra. Thus, the juvenile court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant's parental rights. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5).
