Cite as 2011 Ark. App. 412 ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS DIVISION IV No. CA10-1247 Opinion Delivered JUNE 1, 2011 T.S. APPELLANT APPEAL FROM THE FAULKNER COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT V. [NO. JV-2010-324] HONORABLE RHONDA K. WOOD, STATE OF ARKANSAS JUDGE APPELLEE AFFIRMED; MOTION GRANTED RITA W. GRUBER, Judge Appellant T.S. appeals from a probation order, based on a disorderly conduct charge, that placed her on probation and imposed a fine, costs, and conditions. The Circuit Court of Faulkner County, Juvenile Division, entered the order after conducting a hearing on a delinquency petition by the State. Counsel for T.S. has filed a motion to withdraw and a no-merit appeal pursuant to Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-3(k)(1) and Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The motion is accompanied by a brief including both a discussion of matters in the record that might arguably support an appeal and a statement as to why counsel considers any ruling below that was adverse to T.S. to be incapable of supporting a meritorious appeal. The criminal justice coordinator of this court notified T.S. of her right to file pro se points on appeal. She has not availed herself of that opportunity.
Cite as 2011 Ark. App. 412 The sufficiency of the evidence was the only ruling adverse to T.S. in the circuit court proceeding. Based on our review of the record and counsels brief, we hold that counsel has complied with the requirements of Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-3(k)(1) and Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and that the appeal has no merit. We therefore grant counsels motion to withdraw, and we affirm the conviction. Affirmed; motion granted. GLOVER and HOOFMAN, JJ., agree. 2
