IN RE DEZIRAY J.

Syllabus

This is an appeal by a father of the termination of his parental rights to his daughter. The Juvenile Court for Sevier County (\the Juvenile Court\) terminated the father's parental rights after finding by clear and convincing evidence that the conditions which led to his daughter's removal persisted, that he had failed to manifest an ability and willingness to assume custody of his daughter, and that termination of his parental rights was in his daughter's best interest. The father appealed. Discerning no reversible error, we affirm.

Judges: Chief Judge D. Michael Swiney
