O.M. Opinion Delivered September 30, 2015 APPELLANT

APPEAL FROM THE PULASKI COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, V. EIGHTH DIVISION [NO. 60JV2014-11] ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HONORABLE WILEY A. BRANTON, HUMAN SERVICES AND MINOR JR., JUDGE CHILD

APPELLEES AFFIRMED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED

PHILLIP T. WHITEAKER, Judge

O.M. appeals a Pulaski County Circuit Court order terminating her parental rights to her son D.M. (d/o/b 01/26/2013).1 O.M.’s attorney has filed a motion to be relieved from representation 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 Rule 6-9(i) of the Rules of the Arkansas Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. O.M. was sent a copy of her counsel’s motion and brief along with a letter informing her of her right to file pro se points for reversal, but the packet was returned “Attempted-Not Known.” O.M.’s attorney has no additional contact information for her.

Having carefully examined the record and the no-merit brief, we conclude that counsel has complied with the requirements established by the Arkansas Supreme Court for no-merit appeals in termination cases and that the appeal is wholly without merit. Accordingly, we affirm by memorandum opinion the termination of O.M.’s parental rights. See In re Memorandum Opinions, 16 Ark. App. 301, 700 S.W.2d 63 (1985); Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 5-2(e) (2014). Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.

Affirmed; motion to withdraw granted.

GLADWIN, C.J., and HOOFMAN, J., agree.
