Rodney Deon Sampson v. State

AFFIRM; and Opinion Filed June 16, 2014. In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-12-01651-CR RODNEY DEON SAMPSON, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 4 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F11-53164-K MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Fillmore, Evans, and Lewis Opinion by Justice Fillmore A jury convicted Rodney Deon Sampson of possession with intent to deliver cocaine in an amount of four grams or more but less than 200 grams. See TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE ANN. § 481.112(a), (d) (West 2010). The trial court assessed punishment at fifteen years’ imprisonment. On appeal, Sampson’s attorney filed a brief in which she concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811–12 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to Sampson. We advised Sampson of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se response. We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court’s duty in Anders cases). We agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. We affirm the trial court’s judgment. /Robert M. Fillmore/ ROBERT M.
