Steven Rodriguez v. State
Opinion
NO. 07-05-0316-CR IN THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT AMARILLO PANEL A AUGUST 9, 2006 ______________________________ STEVEN LEIJA RODRIGUEZ, APPELLANT V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE _________________________________ FROM THE 320TH DISTRICT COURT OF POTTER COUNTY; NO. 50,335-D; HONORABLE DON EMERSON, JUDGE _______________________________
Before REAVIS and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Following a plea of not guilty, appellant Steven Leija Rodriguez was convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, punishment enhanced by two prior convictions, and sentenced to 15 years confinement. We affirm.
Appellant’s attorney has filed an Anders brief and a motion to withdraw. Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed. 2d 498 (1967). In support of his motion to withdraw, counsel certifies he has diligently reviewed the record, and in his opinion, the record reflects no reversible error upon which an appeal can be predicated. Id. at 744-45.
Additionally, counsel has certified that he has provided appellant a copy of the Anders brief and motion to withdraw and appropriately advised him of his right to file a pro se response in this matter. Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex.Crim.App. 1991).
The court has also advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response. Appellant has filed a response contending that the indictment for aggravated kidnapping violated his constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy and that the aggravated assault with a deadly weapon case had been previously dismissed and remained dismissed.
We have reviewed the grounds raised by appellant’s response. We have also made an independent review of the entire record to determine whether there are any other arguable grounds which might support an appeal. See Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S.75, 80, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988); Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). As a result of our review, we agree that the appeal is frivolous.
Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
