STATE OF ARKANSAS

APPELLEE

CA 00-225

OCTOBER 4, 2000

APPEAL FROM THE GARLAND COUNTY CHANCERY COURT, JUVENILE DIVISION

[No. J-99-63]

HONORABLE VICKI SHAW COOK, CHANCERY JUDGE

AFFIRMED

Tracy Young was adjudicated a delinquent juvenile for committing the offense of aggravated robbery and was committed to the custody of the Division of Youth Services. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and Rule 4-3(j) of the Rules of the Arkansas Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, Young's counsel filed a motion to withdraw as his attorney, alleging that this appeal is without merit. Counsel also filed a brief in which she contends that all adverse rulings were abstracted and discussed. The clerk of this court furnished Young with a copy of counsel's brief and notified him of his right to file a pro se statement of points for reversal within thirty days. Young did not file a statement.

We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief and abstract and agree that there are no meritorious issues that would support an appeal1. Consequently, we grant counsel's motion to berelieved as counsel and affirm the chancery court's decision.

Affirmed.

Bird and Koonce, JJ., agree.

1 The final adverse evidentiary ruling rendered before the verdict was abstracted by Hill but not discussed in her argument. However, we have reviewed this ruling pursuant to ourduties under Anders v. California and conclude that an appeal on this point would be wholly frivolous.
