THOMAS A. PARR, :
Defendant-Appellant. :
CRIMINAL APPEAL FROM WARREN COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
Case No. 17CR32707
David P. Fornshell, Warren County Prosecuting Attorney, 520 Justice Drive, Lebanon, OH
45036, for plaintiff-appellee
Engel & Martin, LLC, Mary K. Martin, 4660 Duke Drive, Suite 101, Mason, OH 45040, for
defendant-appellant
Per Curiam.
{¶1} This cause came on to be considered upon a notice of appeal, the transcript
of the docket and journal entries, the transcript of proceedings and original papers from the
Warren County Court of Common Pleas, and upon the brief filed by appellant's counsel.
{¶2} Counsel for defendant-appellant, Thomas A. Parr, has filed a brief with this
court pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 (1967), which (1)
Warren CA2018-01-005
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.
{¶3} Having allowed appellant sufficient time to respond, and no response having
been received, we have accordingly examined the record and find no error prejudicial to
appellant's rights in the proceedings in the trial court. The motion of counsel for appellant
requesting to withdraw as counsel is granted, and this appeal is dismissed for the reason
that it is wholly frivolous.
