               APPEAL FROM PREBLE COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
                               Case No. 18CR12706


Martin P. Votel, Preble County Prosecuting Attorney, Kathryn West, 101 East Main Street,
Courthouse, First Floor, Eaton, Ohio 45320, for appellee

Valerie Sargent-Wood Law, LLC, Valerie Sargent-Wood, 204 North Barron Street, Suite C,
Eaton, Ohio 45320, for appellant



        Per Curiam.

        {¶1}     This cause came on to be considered upon a notice of appeal filed by

appellant, Preston Tyler Day, the transcript of the docket and journal entries, the transcript

of proceedings and original papers from the Preble County Court of Common Pleas, and

upon the brief filed by appellant's counsel.
                                                                        Preble CA2020-06-010

       {¶2}    Appellant's counsel has filed a brief with this court pursuant to Anders v.

California, 
386 U.S. 738
, 
87 S.Ct. 1396
 (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 one potential error "that might arguably support the appeal," Anders, at 744, 
87 S.Ct. at 1400
; (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.
