Cook v. State
Cook v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant Dockey Lee Cook was tried and convicted in the Court of Record for Hillsborough County of the offense of breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony, and also of grand larceny, and was thereupon sentenced to serve a term in the State Prison. He has appealed the judgment and sentence to this Court. The local Public Defender, appointed to represent Cook on this appeal, filed brief in this Court in his behalf.
After reviewing the facts contained in the record, the Public Defender says in his brief that he “has carefully reviewed the record in this cause and can find nothing which would arguably support an appeal”; and for such reason he asked “to be relieved as Attorney of Record”, citing Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493.
The Public Defender has served a copy of his said brief upon appellant Cook, and
We have thereupon carefully examined the entire record on file here on behalf of appellant Cook, and find nothing therein sufficient to justify a reversal of the judgment appealed. Accordingly, the judgment is thereupon—
Affirmed.
