       v.                                                         ORDER

BRANDON LEE EASTERBROOKS,

              Defendant and Appellant.



      Counsel for Appellant Brandon Lee Easterbrooks filed a motion and brief asking to
be allowed to withdraw from this appeal on grounds that counsel has been unable to find
any nonfrivolous issues to raise on appeal, pursuant to § 46-8-103(2), MCA,and Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967). This Court granted Easterbrooks time to
respond, but no response was filed.
      The Court has now independently examined the record pursuant to § 46-8-103(2),
MCA,and Anders. We conclude no arguments with potential legal merit can be raised in
Easterbrooks's appeal in this case.
      Therefore,                                                                 •
      IT IS ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED.
      The Clerk is directed to provide copies ofthis Order to all counsel of record and to
Easterbrooks personally
      DATED this ZI day of April, 2020.
