IN RE MERSINO, 472 Mich. 903 (2005)

698 N.W.2d 155

In re MERSINO FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY v. HEAD.

No. 128393.Supreme Court of Michigan.
May 13, 2005.

Leave to Appeal Denied

SC: 128393, COA: 260392.

Leave to appeal is denied because respondent’s claim of appeal was filed more than sixty-three days after entry of the order terminating her parental rights. See MCR 3.993(C)(2) and MCR 7.205(F)(5).

KELLY, J. (concurring).

While I concur in the decision to deny leave to appeal, I do so for the reason articulated by the Court of Appeals. As the Court of Appeals noted, respondent failed to request appointment of appellate counsel within fourteen days of receiving notice of the termination of her parental rights. MCR 3.977(I)(1)(c); MCR 7.204(A)(1)(c). Because respondent failed either to timely request counsel or to file her claim of appeal within sixty-three days of the order terminating parental rights, she lost her right to appeal.
