NOT DESIGNATED FOR PUBLICATION
K AREN R. B AKER, Judge
CA06-693
JANUARY 31, 2007
APPEAL FROM THE PULASKI COUNTY
CIRCUIT COURT
[JJN-04-476, JJN-03-2036]
DEANNA SANDERS
APPELLANT
HONORABLE RITA
GRUBER, JUDGE
v.
WILLIAMSON
ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN
SERVICES
APPELLEE
AFFIRMED
Appellant Deanna Sanders is the mother of R.S. By order filed March 8, 2006, the trial
court terminated appellants parental rights in the child on the ground that she had her rights
previously involuntarily terminated as to R.S.’s siblings and that it was in his best interest to
be placed for adoption.
Appellant's counsel has filed a motion to withdraw asserting that a conscientious review
of the record reveals that there is no issue of arguable merit, pursuant to the supreme courts
decision in Linker-Flores v. Arkansas Department of Human Services, 359 Ark. 131, 194
S.W.3d 739 (2004), and Ark. Sup.Ct. R. 4-3(j). This motion was accompanied by a brief listing
all adverse rulings made at the termination hearing and an explanation why each ruling is not
a meritorious ground for reversal, including a discussion of the sufficiency of the evidence to
support the termination decision based on evidence presented at all the proceedings that were
incorporated into the record of the termination decision, in keeping with the decision in Lewis
v. Arkansas Department of Human Services, 364 Ark. 243, ___ S.W.3d ___ (Nov. 17, 2005).
After a careful examination of the record, we find that counsel has complied with the
requirements for a no-merit examination of the record and hold that the appeal is wholly
without merit. Accordingly, we grant counsel's motion to withdraw and affirm the termination
decision.
Affirmed.
G LADWIN and B IRD, JJ., agree.
