STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS

FOR PUBLICATION In re PEDERSON, Minors. February 13, 2020 No. 349881 Presque Isle Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 17-000007-NA

Before: CAMERON, P.J., and SHAPIRO and SWARTZLE, JJ.

SHAPIRO, J. (concurring).

I concur in the majority opinion. The issue before us is whether, before pleading to several allegations in the petition, respondents were advised that their pleas could be used as evidence at a later termination proceeding. The evidence supporting termination was overwhelming and the fact of their pleas were of little, if any, significance to the outcome. In such a circumstance, I believe that the error was harmless.

/s/ Douglas B. Shapiro
