           IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA
                                                                                     Case Number: DA 22-0107

                                       DA 22-0107

STATE OF MONTANA,

             Plaintiff and Appellee,

      v.                                                           ORDER

SHANE THOMPSON FREIBURG,

             Defendant and Appellant.

      Counsel for Appellant Shane Thompson Freiburg 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.
Califbrnia, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967). Freiburg 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 Freiburg'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
Freiburg personally.
       DATED this 2-1         day of November, 2023.

                                                                Chief Justice
