       v.                                                          ORDER

 STACY SCHMIDT,

              Defendant and Appellant.


       Counsel for the Appellant Stacy Schmidt filed a motion and brief asking to be
allowed to withdraw from this appeal on grounds that he 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). Schmidt was granted time to file a
response, but no response was filed.
      The Court has now independently examined the record pursuant to § 46-8-103(2),
MCA, and Anders. We conclude there are no arguments with potential legal merit that
could be raised in Schmidt's appeal in this case.
      Therefore,
      IT IS ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED.
      The Clerk is directed to provide copies of this Order to all counsel of record and to
Schmidt personally.
      DATED this7J-t day of March, 2020.




                                                              Chief Justice
