STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS


In the Matter of FELICIA HULL and TIFFANY HULL, Minors.

FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, Petitioner-Appellee, v CHRISTINA HART, Respondent-Appellant, and PHILLIP HULL, Respondent.

UNPUBLISHED January 4, 2000

No. 219035 Jackson Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 97-019213 NA

Before: Saad, P.J., and McDonald and Gage, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the trial court order terminating her parental rights to the minor children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(i), (c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(b)(i), (c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). The trial 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-appellant failed to show that termination of her parental rights was clearly not in the children's best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the trial court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant's parental rights to the children. Id. Affirmed.
