                                           FAYETTE COUNTY

 IN RE:                                          :

          G.B.                                   :      CASE NO. CA2019-05-010

                                                               9/23/2019

          APPEAL FROM FAYETTE COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
                           JUVENILE DIVISION
                         Case No. AND20170756

Jess C. Weade, Fayette County Prosecuting Attorney, Fayette County Courthouse,
110 East Court Street, Washington Court House, Ohio 43160, for appellee

Steven H. Eckstein, 1208 Bramble Avenue, Washington Court House, Ohio 43160, for
appellant

        Per Curiam.

        {¶1}     This cause came on to be considered upon a notice of appeal filed by

appellant, H.B., the transcript of the docket and journal entries, the transcript of

proceedings and original papers from the Fayette County Court of Common Pleas,

Juvenile Division, and upon the brief filed by appellant's counsel.

        {¶2}     Appellant's counsel has filed a brief with this court pursuant to Anders 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
                                                               Fayette CA2019-05-010

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.
