(June 12, 2003)
 

2003 UT App 199

Third District Juvenile, Salt Lake Department

Attorneys: John E. Laherty, Salt Lake City, for Appellant

Mark L. Shurtleff and John M. Peterson, Salt Lake City, for Appellee

Martha Pierce, Salt Lake City, Guardian Ad Litem

Before Judges Davis, Orme, and Thorne.

PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals the order terminating his parental rights. Appellant's counsel filed an Anders-type brief that fulfills the requirements of In re D.C., 963 P.2d 761 (Utah Ct. App. 1998). Counsel certified that he mailed a copy of the proposed Anders-type brief to Appellant, allowing enough time for Appellant to raise any points that he desired, but Appellant did not respond. See id. at 765.

After a thorough review of the juvenile court record, we have determined that there are no meritorious issues on appeal, and therefore the appeal is frivolous.

Accordingly, we affirm the juvenile court's order terminating Appellant's parental rights and grant counsel's request to withdraw.
