COURT OF APPEALS


In the Matter of AHMAD, Minor.

MIKHAILAH

CHAKIBAH

FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, Petitioner-Appellee, v ANGELA JEFFERSON, Respondent-Appellant, and THEODORE CALHOUN, Respondent.

UNPUBLISHED April 28, 2000

No. 219334 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 97-361578

Before: Collins, P.J., and Neff and Smolenski, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the family court order terminating her parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i) and (j). We affirm. The family 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). Moreover, respondent-appellant failed to show that termination of her parental rights was clearly not in the child'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 family court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant's parental rights to the child. Id.

Affirmed. /s/ Jeffrey G. Collins /s/ Janet T. Neff /s/ Michael R. Smolenski
