       Counsel for the appellant father ofA.P.R. and A.A.R. filed a motion and briefasking
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). The father was granted time to file a
response, but no response was filed.
