UNPUBLISHED OPINION _™
IBRAHIM SALEH ADAM, ' CO o —
Appellant. FILED: September 2, 2014
Per Curiam. Ibrahim Adam appeals from the judgment and sentence entered
after he pleaded guilty to one count of felony stalking. Adam's court-appointed
attorney has filed a motion to withdraw on the ground that there is no basis for a
good faith argument on review. Pursuant to State v. Theobald, 78 Wn.2d 184, 470
P.2d 188 (1970), and Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493, 87 S. Ct.
1396 (1967), the motion to withdraw must:
[1] be accompanied by a brief referring to anything in the record that
might arguably support the appeal. [2] A copy of counsel's brief should
be furnished the indigent and [3] time allowed him to raise any points
that he chooses; [4] the court-not counsel-then proceeds, after a full
examination of all the proceedings, to decide whether the case is wholly
frivolous.
State v. Theobald, 78 Wn.2d at 185 (quoting Anders v. California. 386 U.S. at 744).
This procedure has been followed. Adam's counsel on appeal filed a brief with
the motion to withdraw. Adam was served with a copy of the brief and informed of
the right to file a statement of additional grounds for review. Adam filed a statement
of additional grounds for review, which also includes a motion to withdraw his guilty
plea.
No. 70861-9-1/2
The facts are accurately set forth in counsel's brief in support of the motion to
withdraw. The court has reviewed the briefs filed in this court and has independently
reviewed the entire record. The court specifically considered the following potential
issue raised by counsel:
1. Whether Adam's guilty plea was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary?
The court also considered the following issue that Adam raised in his
statement of additional grounds on review:
1. Whether the trial court erred in refusing to permit Adam to withdraw his
guilty plea?
The potential issues raised by counsel and Adam are wholly frivolous.
Counsel's motion to withdraw is granted and the appeal is dismissed.
For the court:
