STATE OF MONTANA, Plaintiff and Appellee, v. THOMAS JEFF RICHARDSON, Defendant and Appellant.
ORDER
Counsel for Appellant Thomas Jeff Richardson filed a motion and brief asking to be allowed to withdraw from this appeal on grounds that counsel has been unable to find any nonfrivolous issues to raise on appeal, pursuant to § 46-8-103(2), MCA, and Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 (1967). This Court granted Richardson time to respond, but no response was filed.
The Court has now independently examined the record pursuant to § 46-8-103(2), MCA, and Anders. We conclude no arguments with potential legal merit can be raised Richardson's appeal.
Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED.
The Clerk is directed to provide copies of this Order to all counsel of record and to Richardson personally.
Justice Laurie McKinnon did not participate in this matter.
