Opinion
Case No. 20060843-CA.
Filed July 12, 2007. Not For Official Publication.
Appeal from the Fifth District, Cedar City Department, 051500427 The Honorable G. Michael Westfall.
J. Bryan Jackson, Cedar City, for Appellant.
Before Judges McHugh, Orme, and Thorne.
MEMORANDUM DECISION
Appellant Jared Bennett Deboer appeals his convictions and sentence for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia. DeBoer's counsel filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 783 (1967), andState v. Clayton, 639 P.2d 168 (Utah 1981). The brief "objectively demonstrate[s] that the issues raised are frivolous." State v. Flores, 855 P.2d 258, 260 (Utah Ct.App. 1993) (per curiam); see also Dunn v. Cook, 791 P.2d 873, 877 (Utah 1990) (stating an Anders brief must demonstrate any "potentially meritorious" issues are actually frivolous). Based upon our independent examination of the record, we determine that the appeal is, indeed, wholly frivolous, and accordingly, we affirm the decision of the district court and grant counsel's motion to withdraw.
