      Counsel for the Appellant Robert D. Maxin 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). Maxin responded to the briefand objected
to counsel's motion to withdraw.
      The Court has now independently examined the record pursuant to § 46-8-103(2),
MCA,and Anders. We have considered the arguments raised by counsel and by Maxin in
his brief. We conclude there are no arguments with potential legal merit that could be
raised in Maxin's appeal in this case.
       Therefore,
      IT IS ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED.
       The Clerk is directed to provide copies ofthis Order to all counsel of record and to
the appellant personally.
