IN THE SUPREME COURT, STATE OF WYOMING 2025 WY 82 April Term, A.D. 2025 July 23, 2025 ANTONIO NAVARRETE, Appellant (Defendant), v. S-25-0092 THE STATE OF WYOMING, Appellee (Plaintiff).

ORDER AFFIRMING THE DISTRICT COURT’S SENTENCING ORDER [¶1] This matter came before the Court upon its own motion following notification that Appellant has not filed a pro se brief in the time allotted. Pursuant to a plea agreement, Appellant entered an unconditional guilty plea to one count of voluntary manslaughter in violation of Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 6-2-105(a)(i). For this count, the district court imposed a to 20-year sentence of incarceration. Appellant filed this appeal to challenge the district court’s February 12, 2025, Judgment and Sentence. [¶2] On April 24, 2025, Appellant’s court-appointed appellate counsel filed a Motion to Withdraw as Counsel, pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967). This Court subsequently entered an Order Granting Motion for Extension of Time to File Pro Se Brief. This Court ordered that Appellant was permitted to file with this Court a pro se brief specifying the issues he would like the Court to consider in this appeal. This Court also provided notice that, after the time for filing a pro se brief expired, this Court would make its ruling on counsel’s motion to withdraw and, if appropriate, make a final decision on this appeal. Appellant did not file a pro se brief or other pleading in the time allotted. [¶3] Now, following a careful review of the Anders brief submitted by appellate counsel, and the record, this Court finds that appellate counsel’s motion to withdraw should be granted and the district court’s Judgment and Sentence, should be affirmed. It is, therefore, [¶4] ORDERED that the Wyoming Public Defender’s Office, court-appointed counsel for Appellant Antonio Navarrete, is hereby permitted to withdraw as counsel of record for Appellant; and it is further [¶5] ORDERED that the Laramie County District Court’s February 12, 2025, Judgment and Sentence be, and the same hereby is, affirmed. [¶6] DATED this 23rd day of July, 2025.
