no-merit brief

Read a random definition: serendipity doctrine

A quick definition of no-merit brief:

A no-merit brief, also known as an Anders brief, is a document filed by a court-appointed defense attorney who believes that an appeal is frivolous and wants to withdraw from the case. In this brief, the attorney must identify anything in the record that might support the appeal. The court then decides whether the appeal is frivolous and whether the attorney should be allowed to withdraw. The attorney's first duty is to study the record and consult with the defendant to see if there is anything to support an appeal. Only if there is no issue of even arguable merit does the attorney become an amicus curiae.

A more thorough explanation:

A no-merit brief, also known as an Anders brief, is a document filed by a court-appointed defense attorney who believes that an appeal is frivolous and wants to withdraw from the case. In this brief, the attorney must identify anything in the record that might arguably support the appeal. The court then decides whether the appeal is frivolous and whether the attorney should be allowed to withdraw.

For example, if a defendant is convicted of a crime and their court-appointed attorney believes that there are no valid grounds for an appeal, they may file a no-merit brief. In this brief, the attorney must explain why they believe the appeal is frivolous and identify any potential arguments that could be made in favor of the appeal.

The purpose of a no-merit brief is to ensure that defendants receive adequate representation, even if their attorney believes that their case has no merit. By requiring the attorney to identify potential arguments in favor of the appeal, the court can ensure that the defendant's rights are protected and that the appeal is not dismissed without proper consideration.

That’ll do it
Question, how many of u would sleep on first date
babycat
14:57
honestly my answer is it depends
babycat
14:57
there has to be a very specific vibe to make me want to do that. not like a regular date
babycat
14:59
and sometimes you want to and you still don’t do ir
babycat
14:59
it
babycat
15:00
but I don’t use dating apps so all my first dates are with people I’ve already met in some context, which it sounds like is your situation too
Dkk
15:00
I could never imagine myself doing that on a first date.
Dkk
15:01
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: hope things get better
babycat
15:01
@Dkk: what if it’s someone you’ve known for a long time but never dated?
Dkk
15:03
Maybe but things would have to go like perfectly. I could not imagine them going perfectly.
15:04
Sleeping on the first date just isn't my style, idk. I take things painfully slowly and much prefer to befriend and really get to know a girl first before doing any of that
Ok another question, what do u tell the ppl u sleeping with already that ur going on dates
Dkk
15:05
The bigger issue is if I sleep with them will I have the emotional connection to finish cus it is harder for me to finish if I do not know the person.

@Rightfullytherlauren: If the person is clean or has a good vibe I will do it the first date
15:06
Yeah sorry I can't answer that Lauren, I don't sleep with anyone if I'm not already dating them
Dkk
15:06
@Rightfullytherlauren: This is like a stupid thing that only really hot guys and women have to think about. I have never had to think about this before. No answer.
Dkk
15:07
@bigroger100: No idea. Probably when they released last year unless they were supposed to release already.

@Rightfullytherlauren: I am apparently a hot guy or just a slut cause I have had this before. If it is a FWB then you gotta follow the rules on that like wrapping your tool and such but if it is a casual fuck/bootie call they do not need to know if you are trying to find love and what you are doing when you are busy

You just have to be smart and accept your choices, I know some people will believe a casual hook up or FWB is a regular exclusive thing. Communication is key if you are playing it that way but it is very dangerous to have multiple partners at the same time in a non-exclusive way
babycat
15:09
Yeah you should make it clear to them it's not exclusive
BulbasaurNoLikeCardio
15:10
I have been on the receiving/hurt end thinking it was exclusive when I was just her human dildo and it makes you feel bad.
