State of Montana Plaintiff and Appellee, v. ORDER ANTHONY CRAIG WEIMER, Defendant and Appellant.

Counsel for Appellant Anthony Craig Weimer 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). Weimer responded to counsel's brief and objected to counsel's motion.

The Court has now independently examined the record pursuant to § 46-8-103(2), MCA, and Anders. We have considered the arguments raised by counsel and by Weimer.

We conclude there are no arguments with potential legal merit that could be raised in Weimer's appeal in this case.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED.

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

DATED this day of October, 2024.
