IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON
STATE OF WASHINGTON,
Respondent,
v.
MANUULA MASAWIAI,
Appellant.
No. 70842-2-1
DIVISION ONE
UNPUBLISHED OPINION
FILED: 	JUL 	7 2014
PER CURIAM. 	Manuula Masawiai appeals a first degree rape conviction based
on a guilty plea in King County Superior Court No. 12-1-02405-3 KNT. 	Masawiai's
court-appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw on the ground that there is no
basis for a good faith argument on review. 	Pursuant to State v. Theobald, 78 Wn.2d
184, 470 P.2d 188 (1970), and Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L.
Ed. 2d 493 (1967), the motion to withdraw must:
[1] be accompanied by a brief referring to anything in the record that might
arguably support the appeal. 	[2] A copy of counsel's brief should be
furnished the indigent and [3] time allowed him to raise any points that he
chooses; [4] the court-not counsel-then proceeds, after a full examination
of all the proceedings, to decide whether the case is wholly frivolous.
Theobald, 78 Wn.2d at 185 (quoting Anders v. California, 386 U.S. at 744).
This procedure has been followed. 	Masawiai's counsel on appeal filed a brief
with the motion to withdraw. 	Masawiai was served with a copy of the brief and informed
of the right to file a statement of additional grounds for review. 	He filed a statement of
additional grounds.

No. 70842-2-1/2
The facts are accurately set forth in counsel's brief in support of the motion to
withdraw. 	The court has reviewed the briefs filed in this court and has independently
reviewed the entire record. 	The court specifically considered the following potential
issue raised by counsel:
Was Masawiai's plea made knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily?
Appellant pro se also raised and considered the following potential issue:
Does Masawiai identify grounds for relief in his pro se brief?
The potential issues are wholly frivolous. Counsel's motion to withdraw is
granted and the appeal is dismissed.
For the court:
