Armando Carrion v. State

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-14-00314-CR Armando CARRION, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 227th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2013CR4953 Honorable Philip A. Kazen, Jr., Judge Presiding Opinion by: Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Delivered and Filed: January 21, 2015 MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED; AFFIRMED Armando Luis Carrion was found guilty by a jury of assault on a public servant with bodily injury. The trial court sentenced Carrion to three years in prison and fined him $2,500. Carrion timely appealed the judgment. Carrion’s court-appointed appellate attorney filed a motion to withdraw and a brief in which he raises no arguable points of error and concludes this appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978), and Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. 04-14-00314-CR App. 1969). Counsel sent copies of the brief and motion to withdraw to Carrion and informed Carrion of his rights in compliance with the requirements of Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313 (2014). A full copy of the appellate record was provided to Carrion and he was advised of his right to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief was filed. After reviewing the record and counsel’s brief, we find no reversible error and agree with counsel the appeal is wholly frivolous. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We therefore grant the motion to withdraw filed by Carrion’s counsel and affirm the trial court’s judgment. See id.; Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 86 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1997, no pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no pet.). 1 Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Do not publish 1 No substitute counsel will be appointed. Should Carrion wish to seek further review of this case by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, he must either retain an attorney to file a petition for discretionary review or file a pro se petition for discretionary review. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed within thirty days after either this opinion is rendered or the last timely motion for rehearing or motion for en banc reconsideration is overruled by this court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.2. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed with the clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals. See id. R. 68.3. Any petition for discretionary review must comply with the requirements of rule 68.4 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See id. R. 68.4. -2-
