NOW COMES JEFF T. JACKSON, counsel for Appellant
Brian Lynn Puckett, and hereby moves 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:
I.
Counsel has thoroughly reviewed the record on appeal,
and, for these reasons, is thoroughly familiar with the
case.

II.
Counsel has, in the exercise of his professional
judgment, determined that the instant case presents no
non-frivolous 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, id. at 744.
III.
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.
Anders, Id.
IV.
Counsel has furnished the appellant with a copy of
said brief, a copy of this motion, and a letter apprising
Appellant of counsel’s actions and Appellant’s rights
regarding these matters.

V.
Having determined that the instant appeal is wholly
frivolous, and having complied with the briefing and
notice requirements of Anders v. California, counsel now
requests that he be allowed to withdraw, pursuant to
Anders.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, it is prayed that
the Court grant counsel’s request and allow counsel to
withdraw from this case, pursuant to Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
Respectfully submitted,
