CR-2011-641] V. HONORABLE DAVID GOODSON, STATE OF ARKANSAS JUDGE APPELLEE AFFIRMED; MOTION TO WITHDRAW GRANTED BRANDON J. HARRISON, Judge Adam Roe appeals from the revocation of his probation and resulting sentence of three years imprisonment. Roes attorney has filed a no-merit brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-3(k)(1) (2013), along with a motion to withdraw as counsel, asserting that there is no issue of arguable merit for an appeal. The clerk of our court mailed a certified copy of counsels motion and brief to Roe in accordance with Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-3(k)(2), informing him of his right to file pro se points for reversal. Roe has not filed pro se points for reversal, and the State has not filed a brief. We grant the motion to withdraw and affirm. The test for filing a no-merit brief is not whether there is any reversible error, but whether an appeal would be wholly frivolous. Tucker v. State, 47 Ark. App. 96, 885 S.W.2d 904 (1994).
