APPEAL FROM WARREN COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
Case Nos. 19CR36056 and 19CR36148
David P. Fornshell, Warren County Prosecuting Attorney, 520 Justice Drive, Lebanon, Ohio
45036, for appellee
Engel & Martin, LLC, Mary K. Martin, 4660 Duke Drive, Suite 101, Mason, Ohio 45040, for
appellant
Per Curiam.
{¶1} This cause came on to be considered upon a notice of appeal filed by
appellant, Dana Bowles, the transcript of the docket and journal entries, the transcript of
proceedings and original papers from the Warren County Court of Common Pleas, and
upon the brief filed by appellant's counsel.
Warren CA2020-09-065
{¶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 two potential errors "that might arguably support the appeal," Anders, at 744,
; (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.
PIPER, P.J., HENDRICKSON and M. POWELL, JJ., concur.
