STEPHEN BERNARD BARNES,
Appellant (Defendant),

v.

THE STATE OF WYOMING,
Appellee (Plaintiff).

Order Affirming the District Courts Order of Dismissal

[1]      This matter came before the Court upon Appellants pro se Motion of Response, filed herein November 4, 2010.  This is Appellants appeal from an Order of Dismissal, wherein the district court dismissed, without prejudice, a burglary charge.  On September 7, 2010, Appellants 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).  Following a careful review of the record and the Anders briefs submitted by counsel, this Court entered, on September 28, 2010, its Order Granting Permission for Court Appointed Counsel to Withdraw.  That Order provided that the District Courts Order of Dismissal and its Order Denying Objections and Motions would be affirmed unless, on or before November 12, 2010, the Appellant filed a brief that persuaded this Court that the captioned appeal is not wholly frivolous.  In response to this Courts Order Granting Permission for Court Appointed Counsel to Withdraw, Appellant filed his Motion of Response.  After a careful review of that motion, this Court finds that Appellant has not established that the captioned appeal is not frivolous.  This Court finds the motion devoid of cogent argument and citation to pertinent authority.  Therefore, the Court finds that the District Courts Order of Dismissal and its Order Denying Objections and Motions should be affirmed.  It is, therefore,

[2]      ORDERED that any requests for relief contained in the Motion of Response, be, and hereby are, denied; and it is further

[3]      ORDERED that the District Courts Order of Dismissal and its Order Denying Objections and Motions be, and the same hereby are, affirmed.

[4]      DATED this 24rd day of November, 2010

BY THE COURT:
