Appeal from the



Criminal District Court No. Four



of Dallas County, Texas



(TC# F02-35088-JK)



M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

This is an appeal from a conviction for the offense of aggravated robbery. After entering a plea of guilty, the trial court found Appellant guilty and sentenced him to twenty-five (25) years' confinement. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Appellant's court-appointed counsel has filed a brief in which he 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 presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. 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 was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. Appellant has filed his pro se brief which likewise advances no arguable points of error.

We have carefully reviewed the record and collateral documents on file and agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal but which may advance contentions in a later writ of habeas corpus. A discussion of the contentions advanced in this case would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the state. The judgment is affirmed.
