SHAWNA E. NELSON, :
Appellant. :
CRIMINAL APPEAL FROM FAYETTE COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
Case No. CRI 20170222
Jess C. Weade, Fayette County Prosecuting Attorney, 110 East Court Street,
Washington C.H., OH 43160, for appellee
Stephen H. Eckstein, 1208 Bramble Avenue, Washington C.H., Ohio 43160, for
appellant
Per Curiam.
{¶ 1} This cause came on to be considered upon a notice of appeal filed by
appellant Shawna E. Nelson, the transcript of the docket and journal entries, the
transcript of proceedings and original papers from the Fayette County Court of Common
Pleas, and upon a brief filed by appellant's counsel.
{¶ 2} Appellant's counsel 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 one potential error "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.
