A.C. v. Cabinet for Health & Family Services

OPINION

ACREE, Judge:

This is an appeal from the Kenton Family Court’s January 11, 2011 order terminating the parental rights of appellant, A.C., with regard to her minor son, M.W.C. In the course of our review, we are called upon to determine whether it is proper to extend the briefing procedures of Anders v. State of California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), to appeals from orders terminating parental rights and, if so, whether the appeal *362before us is, in fact, wholly frivolous. We answer both questions affirmatively and affirm the family court’s judgment.
