IN THE SUPREME COURT, STATE OF WYOMING 2014 WY 163 October Term, A.D. 2014 December 17, 2014 MARCOS RAFAEL VASQUEZ-CASAS, Appellant (Defendant), S-14-0203 v. THE STATE OF WYOMING, Appellee (Plaintiff). ORDER AFFIRMING THE DISTRICT COURT’S SENTENCING ORDER [¶1] This matter came before the Court upon its own motion following notification that Appellant has not filed a pro se brief within the time allotted by this Court. Pursuant to a plea agreement, Appellant entered an unconditional guilty plea to one count of sexual abuse of a minor in the first degree. This is Appellant’s direct appeal from the resulting conviction. On September 26, 2014, Appellant’s court-appointed appellate counsel filed a “Motion to Withdraw as Counsel,” pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 1400, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Following a careful review of the record and the “Anders brief” submitted by counsel, this Court, on October 21, 2014, entered its “Order Granting Permission for Court-Appointed Counsel to Withdraw.” That Order notified Appellant the District Court’s July 7, 2014, “Sentencing Order” would be affirmed unless, on or before December 8, 2014, Appellant filed a brief that persuaded this Court the captioned appeal is not wholly frivolous. Now, taking note that Appellant, Marcos Rafael Vasquez-Casas, has not filed a brief or other pleading within the time allotted, the Court finds that the district court’s “Sentencing Order” should be affirmed in all respects. It is, therefore, [¶2] ORDERED that the District Court’s July 7, 2014, “Sentencing Order” be, and the same hereby is, affirmed. [¶3] DATED this 17th day of December, 2014. BY THE COURT: /s/ E. JAMES BURKE Chief Justice
