Patrick Robert Ramirez, Defendant and Appellant. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) PER CURIAM DECISION Case No. 20090498-CA FILED (January 27, 2011) 2011 UT App 35 ----Fifth District, St. George Department, 081501442 The Honorable Eric A. Ludlow Attorneys: Douglas D. Terry, St. George, for Appellant ----Before Judges Davis, McHugh, and Thorne ΒΆ1 Appellant Patrick Robert Ramirez appeals his conviction and sentence. Ramirez's counsel filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 783 (1967), and State v. Clayton, 639 P.2d 168 (Utah 1981). The brief "objectively demonstate[s] that the issues raised are frivolous." State v. Flores, 855 P.2d 258, 260 (Utah Ct. App. 1993) (per curiam); see also Dunn v. Cook, 791 P.2d 873, 877 (Utah 1990) (stating that an Anders brief must demonstrate that any "potentially meritorious" issues are actually frivolous). Based upon our independent examination of the matter, we determine that the appeal is, indeed, wholly frivolous. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's decision and grant Appellant's counsel's request to withdraw. _________________________________ James Z.
