APPELLEE
APPEAL FROM THE MISSISSIPPI
COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT,
[NO. JV-07-21]
HONORABLE RALPH WILSON,
JUDGE
AFFIRMED
COURTNEY HUDSON HENRY, Judge
On February 12, 2009, the Circuit Court of Mississippi County entered an order
terminating the parental rights of appellant Crishana Staley to her son, T.S., whose date of
birth is October 16, 2006. Appellant’s attorney has filed a motion to withdraw and a nomerit brief pursuant to Linker-Flores v. Ark. Dep’t of Human Servs., 359 Ark. 131, 194 S.W.3d
739 (2004), and Rule 6-9(i) of the Rules of the Arkansas Supreme Court and Court of
Appeals, asserting that there are no issues of arguable merit to support the appeal. Counsel’s
motion is accompanied by an abstract, addendum, and brief discussing all adverse rulings and
explaining why these rulings present no meritorious ground for reversal.
The clerk of this court sent copies of counsel’s motion and brief to appellant at her last
known address, informing her that she had the right to file pro se points for reversal.
However, the correspondence was returned as “unclaimed.”

After carefully examining the record and the brief presented to us, we find that counsel
has complied with the requirements established by the Arkansas Supreme Court for no-merit
appeals in termination cases and also conclude that the appeal is wholly without merit.
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm the order terminating
appellant’s parental rights.
Affirmed.
ROBBINS and KINARD, JJ., agree.
