Syllabus

NO-ERROR BRIEF - SENTENCING: Where counsel has filed a no-error brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), and the appellate court determines that the appeal is wholly frivolous, the court may decide the appeal on its merits without appointing new counsel. Where the trial court announced the statutory findings for consecutive sentences in open court, but omitted the consecutive-sentencing findings from the sentencing entry, the court did not commit error prejudicial to defendant: the omission is a clerical error that may be corrected on remand by a nunc pro tunc entry.
