CRIMINAL APPEAL FROM MASON MUNICIPAL COURT
Case No. 18TRC01505
Bethany Bennett, Prosecuting Attorney, 6000 Mason-Montgomery Road, Mason, Ohio
45040, for appellee
Kidd & Urling, LLC, Thomas W. Kidd, Jr., 8913 Cincinnati-Dayton Road, West Chester,
Ohio 45069, for appellant
Per Curiam.
{¶ 1} This cause came on to be considered upon a notice of appeal filed by
appellant Lawrence A. Grimes, the transcript of the docket and journal entries, the
transcript of proceedings and original papers from the Mason Municipal Court, and upon
a brief filed by appellant's counsel.
{¶ 2} Appellant's counsel has filed a brief with this court pursuant to Anders v.
California,
(1967), which (1) indicates that a careful review
of the record from the proceedings below fails to disclose any errors by the trial court
______________________
prejudicial to the rights of appellant upon which an assignment of error may be
predicated; (2) lists four potential errors "that might arguably support the appeal,"
; (3) requests that this court review the record
independently to determine whether the proceedings are free from prejudicial error and
without infringement of appellant's constitutional rights; (4) requests permission to
withdraw as counsel for appellant on the basis that the appeal is wholly frivolous; and (5)
certifies that a copy of both the brief and motion to withdraw have been served upon
appellant.
{¶ 3} Having allowed appellant sufficient time to respond, and no response
having been received we have accordingly examined the record and find no error
prejudicial to appellant's rights in the proceedings in the trial court. The motion of
counsel for appellant requesting to withdraw as counsel is granted, and this appeal is
dismissed for the reason that it is wholly frivolous.
S. POWELL, P.J., PIPER and M. POWELL, JJ., concur.
