State v. Sampson, Unpublished Decision (5-1-2002)
State v. Sampson, Unpublished Decision (5-1-2002)
Opinion of the Court
Defendant-appellant Johnie Sampson appeals his convictions and sentence for aggravated robbery, two counts of felonious assault, and failure to comply with the order of a police officer. Sampson had entered pleas of guilty to these offenses in exchange for the state's dismissal of four other serious charges.
Pursuant to Anders v. California (1967),
Counsel now requests that this court independently examine the record to determine whether the appeal is wholly frivolous. See id.; see, also,Freels v. Hills (C.A.6, 1988),
Our determination that the proceedings below were free of prejudicial error also compels our conclusion that there are no reasonable grounds for this "no error" appeal. But, because of Sampson's indigency, we allow no penalty.
Further, a certified copy of this Judgment Entry shall constitute the mandate, which shall be sent to the trial court under App.R. 27. Costs shall be taxed under App.R. 24.
