STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS


In the Matter of BRANDY DENISE JARRETT, CARLOS DEJUAN JARRETT, JOHN EDWARD JARRETT, and DEJUAN LEE JARRETT, Minors.

FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, Petitioner-Appellee, v CARMEN DENISE JARRETT, Respondent-Appellant, and HIJII TEAGULE, Respondent.

UNPUBLISHED June 16, 1998

No. 205452 Wayne Juvenile Court LC No. 93-307875

Before: Wahls, P.J., and Jansen and Gage, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the juvenile court order terminating her parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA 27.3178 (598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j). 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-appellant failed to show that termination of her parental rights was clearly not in the children's best interests. In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the juvenile court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant's parental rights to the children. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5).
