Appeal From Dorchester County William J. Wylie, Jr., Family Court Judge

Melinda Inman Butler, of The Butler Law Firm, of Union, for Appellant.

Scarlet Bell Moore, of Greenville, for Respondent.

Brenda L. Gorski, of Columbia, for the Guardian ad Litem.

PER CURIAM:

Celena Jacobs appeals the family court's final order terminating her parental rights to her minor children. See S.C. Code Ann. § 63-7-2570 (Supp. 2017). 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 that warrant briefing. Accordingly, we affirm the family court's ruling and relieve Jacobs' counsel.

AFFIRMED.

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

HUFF, GEATHERS, and MCDONALD, JJ., concur.
