MOTION TO WITHDRAW PURSUANT TO
ANDERS V. CALIFORNIA, 386 U.S. 738 (1967)
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:
Now comes E. CHEVO PASTRANO, counsel for appellant BRYANT CARTER, and
hereby move to withdraw from representation of appellant pursuant to Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). In support of this motion, counsel shows as follows:
Counsel has thoroughly reviewed the record on appeal, and, for these reasons is
thoroughly familiar with the case.
Counsel has, in the exercise of his professional judgment, determined that the
instant case presents no nonfrivolous issues for appeal, and, in accordance with the
Supreme Court’s decision in Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), now so advises the
court and requests permission to withdraw. Anders, 386 U.S. at 744.
In accordance with Anders, counsel has, contemporaneously with this motion, filed
a brief outlining all issues which might arguably support an appeal and explaining why
those issues are meritless. Id.
Counsel has furnished the appellant with a copy of said brief, and a copy of this
motion, thus apprising appellant of counsel’s actions.
Having determined that the instant appeal is wholly frivolous and having complied
with the briefing and notice requirements of Anders, counsel now requests that he be
allowed to withdraw.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Counsel for Appellant prays that the
Court grant his request and allow counsel to withdraw from this case.
Respectfully submitted,
