IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA Case Number: DA 20-0256

DA 20-0256

STATE OF MONTANA, FILED JUN 1 5 2021 Plaintiff and Appellee, Bowen Greenwood Clerk of Supreme Court State of Montana v. ORDER INESSA VICTORIA HALL, a/k/a INNA VIKTOROVNA POSTOLNIKOVA, a/k/a NESSA CHRISMAN Defendant and Appellant.

Counsel for the Appellant Inessa Victoria Hall 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 § 46-8-103(2), MCA, and Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967). Hall was granted time to file a response, but no response was filed.

The Court has now independently examined the record pursuant to § 46-8-103(2), MCA, and Anders. We conclude there are no arguments with potential legal merit that could be raised on direct appeal in Hall's case.

Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED.

The Clerk is directed to provide copies ofthis Order to all counsel of record and to Hall personally.

DATED this I day of June, 2021.
