CR10-383] STATE OF ARKANSAS HONORABLE SANDY HUCKABEE, APPELLEE JUDGE AFFIRMED; MOTION GRANTED RITA W. GRUBER, Judge Appellant Patrick S. Bednarz, Jr., pleaded guilty to second-degree sexual assault and was sentenced to 60 months of supervised probation on February 24, 2011. The State filed a petition to revoke appellants probation and an amended petition to revoke, alleging that he violated the conditions thereof by failing to report to intake as directed; failing to pay fines; being arrested and charged with failure to register; using alcohol; and committing an offense punishable by imprisonment, terroristic threatening. After a hearing, the trial court found that appellant had violated the conditions of his probation and sentenced him to ten years imprisonment. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-3(k), appellants counsel has filed a motion to be relieved, stating that there is no merit to the appeal. The motion is accompanied by an abstract and addendum of the proceedings below, including all objections and motions decided adversely to appellant, and
Cite as 2014 Ark. App. 33 a brief in which counsel explains why there is nothing in the record that would support an appeal. The revocation decision was the only adverse ruling at the hearing. The clerk of this court served appellant with a copy of his counsels brief and notified him of his right to file a pro se statement of points for reversal within thirty days. Appellant has filed no such statement. From our review of the record and the brief presented to us, we find compliance with Rule 4-3(k) and that the appeal is without merit. Accordingly, counsels motion to withdraw is granted, and the revocation order is affirmed. Affirmed; motion to withdraw granted. HARRISON and WOOD, JJ., agree. Robert M. Robby Golden, for appellant. No response. 2
