TERESA HARDY APPELLANT v. ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES and MINOR CHILDREN APPELLEES
Leah Lanford, Arkansas Public Defender Commission, for appellant. No response.
APPEAL FROM THE YELL COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, NORTHERN DISTRICT
[NO. JV-14-1]
HONORABLE TERRY SULLIVAN, JUDGE AFFIRMED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED WAYMOND M. BROWN, Judge
The Yell County Circuit Court terminated the parental rights of appellant Teresa Hardy to her two children, D.W. and J.C. Hardy's counsel has filed a motion to withdraw and a no-merit brief, pursuant to Linker-Flores v. Arkansas Department of Human Services, and Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 6-9(i), contending that there are no meritorious grounds to support an appeal. The clerk of our court mailed a certified copy of counsel's motion and brief to appellant, informing her of her right to file pro se points for reversal. Appellant has not filed any pro se points.
The court also accepted the legal fathers' consents to termination of parental rights.
359 Ark. 131, 194 S.W.3d 739 (2004).
(2015).
Having carefully examined the record and the no-merit brief, we conclude that counsel has complied with the requirements established by the Arkansas Supreme Court for no-merit appeals in termination cases and that the appeal is wholly without merit. Accordingly, we affirm the termination of appellant's parental rights by memorandum opinion. We also grant counsel's motion to withdraw.
See In re Memorandum Opinions, 16 Ark. App. 301, 700 S.W.2d 63 (1985). --------
Affirmed; motion to withdraw granted.
