APPEAL FROM THE PU LA SK I
COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT JUVENILE
DIVISION
[NO. JJN2003-2036]
HUMAN
APPELLEES
HONORABLE RITA W. GRUBER,
JUDGE
AFFIRMED
Appellant Deanna Sanders is the mother of D.S., C.S., J.H., N.S. and N.S. By order
filed December 8, 2005, the trial court terminated appellant’s parental rights in the children.
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
court’s decision in Linker-Flores v. Arkansas Department of Human Services, 359 Ark. 131,
___ S.W.3d ___ (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 Departmentt of Human Services, ___ Ark. ___, ___
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.
R OBBINS and G RIFFEN, JJ., agree.
