Cite as 2010 Ark. App. 54 ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS DIVISION I No. CACR09-600 Opinion Delivered January 20, 2010 BOBBY R. FORD APPELLANT APPEAL FROM THE UNION COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT [NO. CR-2008-102-1-1] V. HONORABLE HAMILTON H. SINGLETON, JUDGE STATE OF ARKANSAS AFFIRMED; MOTION TO APPELLEE WITHDRAW GRANTED JOHN MAUZY PITTMAN, Judge In 2008, appellant was placed on probation for five years for the commission of two felonies. Subsequently, the State filed a petition to revoke, alleging that appellant violated the conditions of his probation by committing the offenses of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm by a felon. After a hearing in February 2009, the trial court sentenced appellant to four years in the Arkansas Department of Correction, finding that appellant violated the conditions of his probation by possessing a firearm, pointing it at another person, and shooting at a vehicle. This appeal followed. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and Rule 4-3(k) of the Rules of the Arkansas Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, appellant's attorney has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel on the ground that the appeal is wholly without merit. The motion
Cite as 2010 Ark. App. 54 is accompanied by an abstract, brief, and addendum referring to everything in the record that might arguably support the appeal, including all motions, objections, and requests decided adversely to appellant and a statement of reasons why none of those rulings would be a meritorious ground for reversal. The clerk of this court furnished appellant with a copy of his counsel's brief and notified him of his right to file a pro se statement of points for reversal within thirty days. Appellant filed a such a statement, but all of his points are either adequately covered by counsels brief, not preserved for appeal, or state no legal ground for reversal on appeal. The State filed a brief in which it concurs that there is no merit to the appeal. From our review of the record and the briefs presented to us, we find compliance with Rule 4-3(k) and that the appeal is without merit. Accordingly, counsel's motion to withdraw is granted, and the order of revocation is affirmed. Affirmed; motion to withdraw granted. H ART and GLADWIN, JJ., agree. -2-
