 STATE OF OHIO,                                     :

        Appellee,                                   :     CASE NO. CA2019-06-008

     - vs -                                                    11/4/2019

              CRIMINAL APPEAL FROM BROWN COUNTY MUNICIPAL COURT
                               Case No. CRB1800940


Zachary A. Corbin, Brown County Prosecuting Attorney, Mary McMullen, 510 East State
Street, Suite 2, Georgetown, Ohio 45121, for appellee

Vivian L. Poe, P.O. Box 150, Bethel, Ohio 45106, for appellant



        Per Curiam.

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

appellant, Andrew J. Steadman III, the transcript of the docket and journal entries, the

transcript of proceedings and original papers from the Brown County Municipal Court, 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
                                                                        Brown CA2019-06-008

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 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.
