APPEAL FROM BUTLER COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
JUVENILE DIVISION
Case No. JN2014-0327

Michael J. Gmoser, Butler County Prosecuting Attorney, Kelly O'Keefe, Government Services

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 a brief filed by appellant's
counsel.
{¶ 2} Counsel for appellant, E.B., has filed a brief with this court pursuant to Anders
Butler CA2016-03-049
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., RINGLAND and HENDRICKSON, JJ., concur.
