Sarafia Walker v. State

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-09-00038-CR

Sarafia Walker, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 426TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 63544, HONORABLE FANCY H. JEZEK, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Sarafia Walker pleaded guilty to burglary of a habitation and was sentenced to ten years in prison, probated for ten years, plus payment of a $1,000 fine, $150 in restitution, and all court costs.

Appellant’s court-appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw and a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744-45 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80-81(1988); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). Appellant was sent a copy of counsel’s brief and was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.

We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.

Affirmed.
