           IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA
                                                                                      Case Number: DA 22-0573

                                          DA 22-0573

STATE OF MONTANA,

              Plaintiff and Appellee,

      v.                                                           ORDER

VALERIE SUE DOGTAKINGGUN GRANT,

              Defendant and Appellant.

      Counsel for the Appellant Valerie Sue Dogtakinggun Grant filed a motion and brief
asking to be allowed to withdraw from this appeal on grounds that counsel has been unable
to find any nonfrivolous issues to raise on appeal, pursuant to § 46-8-103(2), MCA, and
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967). Grant was granted time to file
a response, but no response was filed.
      The Court has now independently examined the record pursuant to § 46-8-103(2),
MCA, and Anders. We conclude there are no arguments with potential legal merit that
could be raised on direct appeal in Grant's case.
       IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED.
       The Clerk is directed to provide copies of this Order to all counsel of record and to
Grant personally.
       DATED this 3             1y of January, 2024.

                                                                Chief Justice
