APPEAL FROM THE BENTON COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT [NO. J2011823-D]
HONORABLE MARK THOMPSON FRYAUF, JUDGE
AFFIRMED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED
ROBIN F. WYNNE , Judge
E.S., a juvenile, was adjudicated delinquent by the Benton County Circuit Court for committing the offense of rape, a Class Y felony, and was placed on supervised probation for two years. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and Rule 4-3(k) of the Rules of the Arkansas Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, appellant's attorney has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel on the ground that the appeal is wholly without merit. The motion is accompanied by an abstract and a brief referring to everything in the record that might arguably support the appeal and a statement of reasons why none of those rulings would be a meritorious ground for appeal. E.S. has not filed pro se points for reversal.
From our review of the record and the brief presented to us, we find compliance with Rule 4-3(k) and that the appeal is without merit. Accordingly, counsel's motion to be relieved is granted, and the adjudication of delinquency is affirmed.
Affirmed; motion to withdraw granted.
GLADWIN, C.J., and HIXSON, J., agree.
