Date of Order: May 24, 2012

This matter came before the Court upon its own motion following notification that appellant has not filed a pro se brief within the time allotted by this Court. Appellant pled guilty to one count of sexual abuse of a minor in the first degree. This is Appellant’s direct appeal from that conviction. On March 5, 2012, 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). Following a careful review of the record and the “Anders brief” submitted by counsel, this Court, on March 27, 2012, entered its “Order Granting Permission for Court Appointed Counsel to Withdraw.” That Order notified Appellant that the District Court’s June 2, 2011 “Judgment and Sentence” would be affirmed unless, on or before May 11, 2012, Appellant filed a brief that persuaded this Court that the captioned appeal is not wholly frivolous. Taking note that Appellant, Marvin Kenneth Shue, has not filed a brief or other pleading within the time allotted, the Court finds that the district court’s “Judgment and Sentence” should be affirmed. It is therefore ordered that the District Court’s June 2, 2011 “Judgment and Sentence” be, and the same hereby is, affirmed.
