{¶2} Counsel for appellant Father has filed a brief with this court pursuant to Anders
v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 (1967), which (1) indicates that a careful review
of the record from the proceedings below fails to disclose any errors by the trial court
prejudicial to the rights of appellant upon which an assignment of error may be predicated;
(2) lists two potential errors "that might arguably support the appeal," Anders, at 744, 87
S.Ct. at 1400; (3) requests that this court review the record independently to determine
whether the proceedings are free from prejudicial error and without infringement of
appellant's constitutional rights; (4) requests permission to withdraw as counsel for
appellant on the basis that the appeal is wholly frivolous; and (5) certifies that a copy of both
the brief and motion to withdraw have been served upon appellant Father.
{¶3} Counsel for appellant Mother has filed a brief with this court pursuant to
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 (1967), which (1) indicates that a careful
review of the record from the proceedings below fails to disclose any errors by the trial court
prejudicial to the rights of appellant upon which an assignment of error may be predicated;
(2) lists one potential error "that might arguably support the appeal," Anders, at 744, 87
S.Ct. at 1400; (3) requests that this court review the record independently to determine
whether the proceedings are free from prejudicial error and without infringement of
appellant's constitutional rights; (4) requests permission to withdraw as counsel for
appellant on the basis that the appeal is wholly frivolous; and (5) certifies that a copy of both
the brief and motion to withdraw have been served upon appellant Mother.
{¶4} Having allowed appellants sufficient time to respond, and no response having
been received, we have accordingly examined the record and find no error prejudicial to
appellants’ rights in the proceedings in the trial court. The motion of counsel for appellant
Father and the motion of counsel for appellant Mother requesting to withdraw as counsel
Warren CA2022-05-037
CA2022-06-038
are granted, and these appeals are dismissed for the reason that they are wholly frivolous.
