the children M.J.W., J.A., and C.A. Appellant’s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a motion

We have reviewed the record and the attorney’s Anders brief, and we agree with counsel
that the appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we grant the motion to withdraw and affirm the trial
court’s order.
