Cite as 2012 Ark. App. 198 ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS DIVISION I No. CA11-1040 ANGELA CARAMEZ Opinion Delivered March 7, 2012 APPELLANT APPEAL FROM THE SEVIER V. COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT [NO. JV 2010-11-1] ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HONORABLE TOM COOPER, HUMAN SERVICES and MINOR JUDGE CHILDREN APPELLEES AFFIRMED; MOTION GRANTED RITA W. GRUBER, Judge This appeal arises from an order of the Sevier County Circuit Court terminating appellant Angela Caramez’s parental rights to her minor son, born on June 25, 2007, and minor daughter, born January 13, 2009. Her attorney has filed a no-merit brief and a motion to be relieved as counsel in accordance with Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 6-9(i)(1) (2012) and Linker-Flores v. Ark. Dep’t of Human Servs., 359 Ark. 131, 194 S.W.3d 739 (2004), stating that there is no issue of arguable merit for reversal. Appellant has filed pro se points, maintaining in part that she “is working on everything.” After examining the record and counsel’s brief, we hold that counsel has complied with the requirements for no-merit termination appeals and that the appeal is wholly without merit. Counsel listed the only adverse ruling in this case, the trial court’s decision to terminate appellant’s parental rights, and has adequately discussed why there is no arguable merit to an appeal. We therefore grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
Cite as 2012 Ark. App. 198 Appellant has submitted pro se points, but her arguments either are unrelated to the only ground for termination—failure to remedy the unsanitary condition of her home—or are based on facts alleged to have occurred after the order was entered and outside the record. Accordingly, we need not address her arguments. See Fields v. Ark. Dep’t of Human Servs., 104 Ark. App. 37, 289 S.W.3d 134 (2008). Affirmed; motion granted. ROBBINS and ABRAMSON, JJ., agree. 2
