MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

            Casey Cooper appeals his conviction for aggravated robbery, for which he was sentenced to imprisonment for thirty years.  Appellant’s counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967) and Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969).  We affirm.

 

Background

            Appellant was charged by indictment with aggravated robbery.  The charge contained an allegation that Appellant used or exhibited a deadly weapon during or during commission of or the immediate flight from the offense.  Appellant pleaded guilty as charged, and a trial on punishment was conducted.  Ultimately, the jury assessed Appellant’s punishment at imprisonment for thirty years.  The trial court sentenced Appellant accordingly, and this appeal followed.

 

Analysis Pursuant to Anders v. California

            Appellant’s counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967) and Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). Appellant’s counsel states that he has diligently reviewed the appellate record and is of the opinion that the record reflects no reversible error and that there is no error upon which an appeal can be predicated.  He further relates that he is well acquainted with the facts in this case.  In compliance with Anders, Gainous, and High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978), Appellant’s brief presents a chronological summation of the procedural history of the case and further states that Appellant’s counsel is unable to raise any arguable issues for appeal.1  We have likewise reviewed the record for reversible error and have found none.

 

Conclusion

            As required by Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991), Appellant’s counsel has moved for leave to withdraw.  We carried the motion for consideration with our consideration of this matter.  Having done so and finding no reversible error, Appellant’s counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw is hereby granted and the trial court’s judgment is affirmed.
