Appeal From Anderson County Tommy B. Edwards, Family Court Judge

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

Scarlet Bell Moore, of Greenville, for Respondent.

John Marshall Swails, Jr., of Greenville, for the Guardian ad Litem.

PER CURIAM

Thomas Bell appeals the family court's final order terminating his parental rights to his 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 facts 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. Thus, we affirm the family court's ruling and relieve Bell's counsel.

AFFIRMED.

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

SHORT, THOMAS, and HILL, JJ., concur.
