STATE OF MONTANA, Plaintiff and Appellee, v. BRETT BUCKY MATKOVICH, Defendant and Appellant.
ORDER
Counsel for the Appellant Brett Bucky Matkovich 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. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 (1967). Matkovich 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 on direct appeal in Matkovich's 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 Matkovich personally.
