State v. Wysong

Summary

The Twelfth District Court of Appeals of Ohio reviewed Joshua Wysong's criminal appeal under an Anders brief. The court found no prejudicial error, granted appointed counsel's motion to withdraw, and dismissed the appeal as wholly frivolous, assessing costs to Wysong.

Holdings

1. Independent review of the record disclosed no error prejudicial to Wysong's rights in the trial-court proceedings.
2. The motion of Wysong's counsel to withdraw was properly granted because the appeal was wholly frivolous.

Questions Presented

1. Whether independent review of the record under Anders v. California disclosed any prejudicial error or constitutional violation requiring appellate relief.
2. Whether appointed appellate counsel should be permitted to withdraw when the appeal is wholly frivolous.

Disposition
