Pursuant to a plea agreement, Appellant entered an unconditional guilty plea to one count of sexual abuse of a minor in the first degree. Wyo. Stat, Ann. § 6-2-314(a)(iii). The district court imposed a sentence of 15 to 85 years, Appellant filed this appeal to challenge the district court's May 15, 2015, "Judgment Upon Plea of Guilty" and its September 14, 2015, "Sentence."

[12] On January 25, 2016, Appellant's court-appointed appellate counsel filed a "Motion to Withdraw as Counsel," pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 1400, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). On January 26, this Court entered an "Order Granting Motion for Extension of Time to File Pro Se Brief" This Court ordered that, on or before March 14, 2016, Appellant "may *136 file with this Court a pro se brief specifying the issues he would like this Court to consider in this appeal." This Court also provided notice that, after the time for filing a pro se brief expired, this Court would "make its ruling on counsel's motion to withdraw and, if appropriate, make a final decision on this appeal." This Court notes that Appellant has not filed a pro se brief or other pleading in the time allotted.
