GRUBER, Judge Appellant Bobby Brown was tried methamphetamine, and was sentenced as a habitual offender to 132 months imprisonment in the Arkansas Department of Correction. His no-merit appeal comes before us for a second time, and his counsel has again filed a motion to withdraw. We previously denied the motion and ordered rebriefing because of omissions in counsels brief. Brown v. State, 2011 Ark. App. 25. The omissions in counsels earlier brief have been corrected. The brief now before us addresses all rulings by the trial court that were adverse to Brown: the denial of his motion for a directed verdict, the refusal to instruct the jury on an alternative sentence of probation, and the finding that Brown had the ability to assist in his defense and was competent to proceed to trial. From our review of the record and counsels brief, we hold that theOpinion Delivered APRIL 27, 2011 APPEAL FROM CLEBURNE C OUNTY CIRCUIT COURT [NO.
