JEFFREY ALAN WHITE a/k/a

JEREMIAH PARISH,

APPELLANT

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,

APPELLEE

Appellant Jeffrey Alan White a/k/a Jeremiah Parish ("Appellant") pleaded "guilty" to the offense of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and elected to have a jury assess his punishment. The jury sentenced Appellant to thirty-five years of imprisonment.

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 filed a brief in which he states that he has diligently reviewed the appellate record and has concluded that the record reflects no arguable issues on appeal. Counsel's brief contains a chronological summation of the procedural history of the case and also contains a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why, under the controlling authorities, there is no error in the court's judgment. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 812 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). We have likewise conducted an independent review of the record in this case and find nothing that might arguably support the appeal.

Counsel has served Appellant with a copy of counsel's brief and advised Appellant of his right to file a pro se brief. Furthermore, this court notified Appellant of his right to file his own brief in this cause. The time for filing such a brief has expired, and we have received no pro se brief.

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

Opinion delivered March 14, 2003.

Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J. and Griffith, J.
