William David Wooten appeals the family court's order terminating his parental rights to his minor child. See S.C. Code Ann. § 63-7-2570 (Supp. 2014). Upon a thorough review of the record and the family court's findings of facts and conclusions of law pursuant to Ex Parte Cauthen, 291 S.C. 465, 354 S.E.2d 381 (1987), we find no meritorious issues that warrant briefing. Accordingly, we affirm the family court's ruling and relieve Wooten's counsel.

AFFIRMED.

SHORT, LOCKEMY, and McDONALD, JJ., concur.
