Mark Anthony Rodriguez v. State

COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS MARK ANTHONY RODRIGUEZ, § No. 08-09-00108-CR Appellant, § Appeal from the v. § 227th District Court THE STATE OF TEXAS, § of Bexar County, Texas Appellee. § (TC#2008CR0883W) § MEMORANDUM OPINION This is an appeal from a judgment adjudicating Appellant guilty of the offense of possession of heroin in an amount less than one gram. The court sentenced Appellant to two years’ confinement in a state jail facility. 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. The judgment is affirmed. GUADALUPE RIVERA, Justice September 23, 2009 Before Chew, C.J., McClure, and Rivera, JJ.
