STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS


In the Matter of TRAVONTAE MCFERRIN, TAJZAHN COHN and TOMISHA TURNER, Minors.

FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, Petitioner-Appellee, v TAMIKA COHN, Respondent-Appellant, and TOMA TURNER and KEVIN JOHNSTON, Respondents.

UNPUBLISHED February 2, 1999

No. 211589 Kalamazoo Juvenile Court LC No. 96-000038 NA

Before: Sawyer, P.J., and Wahls and Hoekstra, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from a juvenile court order terminating her parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i). We affirm. The juvenile court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory ground for termination was established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Further, respondent-appellant does not argue 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; 564 NW2d 156 (1997).
