IN THE MATTER OF: Clerk of Supreme Court

State of Montana J.D.D., A.J.D. and M.T.D., ORDER

Youths in Need of Care.

Counsel for the appellant mother of J.D.D., A.J.D., and M.T.D. filed a motion and brief asking to be allowed to withdraw from this appeal on grounds that counsel has been unable to find any nonfrivolous issues to raise on appeal, pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967). The mother was granted time to file a response, but no response was filed.

The Court has now independently examined the record pursuant to Anders. We conclude there are no arguments with potential legal merit that could be raised in the mother's appeal in this case.

Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED.

The Clerk is directed to provide copies of this Order to all counsel of record and to the appellant mother personally.

"a" DATED this i Z., day of August, 2020.
