Syllabus

In these permanent custody cases, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying the father's motion for a continuance the day of the permanent custody hearing, and trial counsel did not render ineffective assistance of counsel. The trial court also did not err in granting permanent custody of the children to the children services agency. Mother's counsel filed an Anders brief, and after conducting an independent review of the record, we found no issues that are not wholly frivolous. As a final matter, this appellate district will no longer accept Anders briefs in cases involving termination of parental rights. Judgment affirmed.
