:
PETE SNYDER, :
Defendant-Appellant. :
CRIMINAL APPEAL FROM BUTLER COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
Case No. CR2009-03-0515
Michael T. Gmoser, Butler County Prosecuting Attorney, John C. Heinkel, Government
Services, 315 High Street, 11th Floor, Hamilton, Ohio 45011, for plaintiff-appellee
Mary K. Martin, 4660 Duke Drive, Suite 101, Mason, Ohio 45040, for defendant-
appellant
Per Curiam.
{¶ 1} This cause came on to be considered upon a notice of appeal, the
transcript of the docket and journal entries, the transcript of proceedings and original
papers from the Butler County Court of Common Pleas, and upon a brief filed by
appellant's counsel.
{¶ 2} Counsel for appellant, Pete Snyder, has filed a brief with this court
pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 (1967), which (1) indicates
that a careful review of the record from the proceedings below fails to disclose any
______________________
errors by the trial court prejudicial to the rights of appellant upon which an assignment of
error may be predicated; (2) lists two potential errors "that might arguably support the
appeal," Anders at 744, 87 S.Ct. at 1400; (3) requests that this court review the record
independently to determine whether the proceedings are free from prejudicial error and
without infringement of appellant's constitutional rights; (4) requests permission to
withdraw as counsel for appellant on the basis that the appeal is wholly frivolous; and (5)
certifies that a copy of both the brief and motion to withdraw have been served upon
appellant.
{¶ 3} Having allowed appellant sufficient time to respond, and no response
having been received we have accordingly examined the record and find no error
prejudicial to appellant's rights in the proceedings in the trial court. The motion of
counsel for appellant requesting to withdraw as counsel is granted, and this appeal is
dismissed for the reason that it is wholly frivolous.
