Leah Lanford, Arkansas Public Defender Commission, for appellant. No response.
APPEAL FROM THE PULASKI
COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT,
EIGHTH DIVISION
[NO. 60JV2011-910]
HONORABLE WILEY A. BRANTON,
JR., JUDGE
AFFIRMED; MOTION TO
WITHDRAW GRANTED
ROBIN F. WYNNE , Judge
Appellant Sherrion James appeals from an order terminating her parental rights to three of her children, daughter L.J. (born 6/26/07), son J.P.1 (born 7/27/09), and son J.P.2 (also born 7/27/09). James's attorney has filed a motion to withdraw and a brief pursuant to Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 6-9(i) (2012) and Linker-Flores v. Arkansas Department of Human Services, 359 Ark. 131, 194 S.W.3d 739 (2004), asserting that the appeal is wholly without merit. James has filed several pro se points.
After carefully examining the record, counsel's brief, and James's pro se points, we hold that James's counsel has complied with the requirements established by the Arkansas Supreme Court for no-merit appeals from terminations of parental rights and that the appeal is wholly without merit. Accordingly, by memorandum opinion we affirm the termination of James's parental rights to L.J., J.P.1, and J.P.2. See In re Memorandum Opinions, 16 Ark. App. 301, 700 S.W.2d 63 (1985) (per curiam); Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 5-2(e). We also grant her counsel's motion to be relieved from representation.
Affirmed; motion to withdraw granted.
HIXSON and WOOD, JJ., agree.
