MOTION TO WITHDRAW PURSUANT TO ANDERS v. CALIFORNIA, 386 U.S. 738 (1967)

TO THE HONORABLE SIXTH COURT OF APPEALS:

NOW COMES JEFF T. JACKSON, counsel for Appellant Brian Lynn Puckett, and hereby moves to withdraw from representation of Appellant pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). In support of this motion, counsel shows as follows:

I.

Counsel has thoroughly reviewed the record on appeal, and, for these reasons, is thoroughly familiar with the case.

2

II.

Counsel has, in the exercise of his professional judgment, determined that the instant case presents no non-frivolous issues for appeal, and, in accordance with the Supreme Court’s decision in Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), now so advises the court and requests permission to withdraw. Anders, id. at 744.

III.

In accordance with Anders, counsel has, contemporaneously with this motion, filed a brief outlining all issues which might arguably support an appeal and explaining why those issues are meritless. Anders, Id.

IV.

Counsel has furnished the appellant with a copy of said brief, a copy of this motion, and a letter apprising Appellant of counsel’s actions and Appellant’s rights regarding these matters.

3

V.

Having determined that the instant appeal is wholly frivolous, and having complied with the briefing and notice requirements of Anders v. California, counsel now requests that he be allowed to withdraw, pursuant to Anders.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, it is prayed that the Court grant counsel’s request and allow counsel to withdraw from this case, pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ Jeff T. Jackson
