Unpublished Opinion No. 2007-UP-136

PER CURIAM: This appeal arises from the termination of parental rights hearing of Marion Lindsey to the minor children N and T. The family court found Lindseys parental rights should be terminated because he was convicted of the murder of the childrens mother. See S.C. Code Ann. § 20-7-1572(10) (Supp. 2006) (The family court may order termination of parental rights [if] [a] parent of the child pleads guilty or nolo contendere to or is convicted of the murder of the childs other parent.). Additionally, the family court found termination was in the best interest of the children. See § 20-7-1572. After a thorough review of the record, pursuant to Ex Parte Cauthen, 291 S.C. 465, 354 S.E.2d 381 (1987), we affirm[1] the family courts ruling and grant counsels petition to be relieved.
AFFIRMED.
ANDERSON, KITTREDGE, and SHORT, JJ., concur.
[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
