             CRIMINAL APPEAL FROM CLINTON COUNTY MUNICIPAL COURT
                              Case No. CRB 1700272



Laura Railing Gibson, 69 N. South Street, Wilmington, Ohio 45177, for plaintiff-appellee

Blaise S. Underwood, 97 N. South Street, Wilmington, Ohio 45177, for defendant-appellant



        Per Curiam.

        {¶ 1} 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

Clinton County Municipal Court, and upon a brief filed by appellant's counsel.

        {¶ 2} Counsel for appellant, James E. Constable, 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
                                                                       Clinton CA2017-10-014

trial court prejudicial to the rights of appellant upon which an assignment of error may be

predicated; (2) lists four 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.

       {¶ 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.
