Claude Robin Chandler, of the South Carolina Department of Social Services, of Columbia, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:

Aquien Miller appeals the family court's final order terminating his parental rights to his minor child. See S.C. Code Ann. § 63-7-2570 (2010 & Supp. 2013). After a review of the transcript 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. Accordingly, we affirm the family court's ruling and relieve Miller's counsel.

AFFIRMED.¹

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