MEMORANDUM DECISION
J.W. appeals a juvenile court order terminating her parental rights. Counsel for J.W. asserts that no nonfrivolous issues exist. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); adopted in Utah in In re D.C., 963 P.2d 761 (Utah Ct.App. 1998).
J.W. asserts that there was not sufficient evidence to terminate her parental rights, that the juvenile court erred in determining that it was in J.E.'s best interest to be adopted, and that the juvenile court erred in determining that the Division of Child and Family Services made reasonable efforts to provide reunification services, and lastly that J.W. received ineffective assistance of counsel in the hearings held prior to filing of the petition to terminate parental rights.
Having independently examined the issues raised, we conclude they are wholly frivolous. Therefore, we grant counsel's request to withdraw and affirm the juvenile court.
Pamela T. Greenwood, Judge, Norman H. Jackson, Judge and William A. Thorne Jr., Judge.
