No. 08-02-00045-CR



Appeal from the



296th District Court



of Collin County, Texas



(TC# 296-80455-98)



MEMORANDUM OPINION



Appellant waived trial by jury and entered a plea of guilty before the court to the offense of aggravated robbery. He was convicted, and the court assessed punishment at ten (10) years' deferred adjudication probation. On October 19, 2000, the State filed a motion to enter a final adjudication of guilt. Following a hearing and upon Appellant's plea of true, the court adjudicated Appellant's guilt and sentenced him to thirty-five (35) years' imprisonment. We affirm.

Appellant's court-appointed counsel has filed a brief in which she has concluded that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493, reh. denied, 388 U.S. 924, 87 S.Ct. 2094, 18 L.Ed.2d 1377 (1967), by advancing contentions which counsel says might arguably support the appeal. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). A copy of counsel's brief has been delivered to Appellant, and Appellant has been advised of his right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.

We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. A discussion of the contentions advanced in counsel's brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the state.

The judgment is affirmed.
