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.
{¶ 2} Counsel for defendant-appellant, J.T., 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
Butler CA2000-00-000
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.
