    APPEAL FROM BUTLER COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
    JUVENILE DIVISION
    Case No. JN2010-0357
    Amy R. Ashcraft, 240 East State Street, Trenton, Ohio 45067, for appellant
    Michael T. Gmoser, Butler County Prosecuting Attorney, Government Services Center, 315
    High Street, 11th Floor, Hamilton, OH 45011-6057, for appellee, Butler County Department of
    Jobs & Family Services
    Meredith Schnug, 10 Journal Square, 3rd Floor, Hamilton, Ohio 45011, Guardian Ad Litem
    for M.F.
    Per Curiam.
    {¶ 1} This cause came on to be considered upon a notice of appeal, the transcript of
    the docket and journal entries, the transcript of proceedings and original papers from the
    Butler County Court of Common Pleas, Juvenile Division, and upon the brief filed by
    appellant's counsel, oral argument having been waived.
    Butler CA2012-08-161
    {¶ 2} Counsel for appellant has filed a brief with this court pursuant to Anders v.
    California, 
    386 U.S. 738
    , 
    87 S.Ct. 1396
     (1967), which (1) indicates that a careful review of the
    record from the proceedings below fails to disclose any errors by the trial court prejudicial to
    the rights of appellant upon which an assignment of error may be predicated; (2) lists one
    potential error "that might arguably support the appeal," Anders, at 744, 
    87 S.Ct. at 1400
    ; (3)
    requests that this court review the record independently to determine whether the
    proceedings are free from prejudicial error and without infringement of appellant's
    constitutional rights; (4) requests permission to withdraw as counsel for appellant on the
    basis that the appeal is wholly frivolous; and (5) certifies that a copy of both the brief and
    motion to withdraw have been served upon appellant.
    {¶ 3} Having allowed appellant sufficient time to respond, and no response having
    been received, we have accordingly examined the record and find no error prejudicial to
    appellant's rights in the proceedings in the trial court. The motion of counsel for appellant
    requesting to withdraw as counsel is granted, and this appeal is dismissed for the reason that
    it is wholly frivolous.
    S. POWELL, P.J., HENDRICKSON and M. POWELL, JJ., concur.
