Cite as 2015 Ark. App. 7 to an appeal. The motion is accompanied by an abstract and addendum of the proceedings below and a brief in which counsel explains why there is nothing in the record that would support an appeal.

Accordingly, we affirm the order of revocation and grant defense counsels motion to withdraw. Affirmed; motion granted. GLOVER and WHITEAKER, JJ., agree. C. Brian Williams, for appellant.
