OPINION
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 briefs filed by appellant, Christina Beaudoin, pro se, by appellant's counsel, and by the state of Ohio on behalf of Butler County Children Services Board, oral argument having been waived.
Counsel for appellant has filed a brief with this court pursuant toAnders v. California (1967), 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 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 five potential errors "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.
Appellant has filed a pro se brief raising sixteen "assignments of error" attacking the trial court's judgment.  We have accordingly examined the record and find no error prejudicial to appellant's rights in the proceedings in the trial court. Therefore, 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.
