JV-2012-81] V. HONORABLE BARBARA HALSEY, ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF JUDGE HUMAN SERVICES and MINOR CHILD APPELLEES AFFIRMED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED RHONDA K. WOOD, Judge This is a no-merit appeal from an order terminating the parental rights of appellant Amanda Border to her child, B.B. Border’s attorney has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel and a no-merit brief pursuant to Linker-Flores v. Arkansas Department of Human Services, 359 Ark. 131, 194 S.W.3d 739 (2004), and Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 6-9(i) (2012), asserting that there are no issues of arguable merit to support the appeal. The brief includes a discussion of the sufficiency of the evidence to support the termination order, all matters in the record that might arguably support an appeal, all adverse rulings, and a statement as to why counsel considers each point raised as incapable of supporting a meritorious appeal. The clerk of this court sent a copy of the brief and motion to Border,
