Nikia Moore appeals the family court's final order terminating her parental rights to her minor child. See S.C. Code Ann. § 63-7-2570 (Supp. 2021). Upon a thorough review of the record and the family court's findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Ex parte Cauthen, 291 S.C. 465, 354 S.E.2d 381 (1987), we find no meritorious issues warrant briefing. Accordingly, we affirm the family court's ruling and relieve Moore's counsel.

AFFIRMED.

We decide this case without argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.

GEATHERS, MCDONALD, and HILL, JJ., concur.
