STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS


In the Matter of EMILY KAYE WARNER, Minor

GENEVA BATTLES and RICHARD BATTLES, Petitioners-Appellees, v PATRICIA A. BRANDT, Respondent-Appellant.

UNPUBLISHED December 30, 1997

No. 200110 Kent Juvenile Court LC No. 96-034501 NA

Before: MacKenzie, P.J., and Hood and Hoekstra, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent appeals as of right from the juvenile court order terminating her parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(e), (f), and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(e), (f), 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). Further, respondent has not challenged the juvenile court's determination that she failed to show that termination is clearly not in the child's best interest. In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the juvenile court did not err in terminating respondent's parental rights to the child. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5). Affirmed. /s/ Barbara B. MacKenzie /s/ Harold Hood /s/ Joel P. Hoekstra
