Appeal from 143rd District Court of Ward County, Texas, (Tc#02-09-004499-Crw).
Before Panel No. 4 BARAJAS, C.J., LARSEN, and McCLURE, JJ.
ANN CRAWFORD McCLURE, Justice.
Anthony Dewon Roberson appeals his conviction for aggravated sexual assault. Appellant waived his right to a jury trial and entered a negotiated plea of guilty before the trial court. In accordance with the plea bargain, the trial court deferred adjudicating Appellant guilty, placed him on community supervision for a term of ten years, and assessed a $2,000 fine. The State later filed a motion to adjudicate guilt, and following a hearing at which Appellant entered a plea of true, the trial court adjudicated Appellant's guilt and assessed punishment at imprisonment for twenty-five years. We affirm.
FRIVOLOUS APPEAL
Appellant's court-appointed counsel has filed a brief in which he has concluded that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493, reh. denied, 388 U.S. 924, 87 S.Ct. 2094, 18 L.Ed.2d 1377 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.Crim.App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex.Crim.App. 1974); Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex.Crim.App. 1972); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex.Crim.App. 1969). A copy of counsel's brief has been delivered to Appellant, and Appellant has been advised of his right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. A pro se brief has been filed. We have carefully reviewed the record, counsel's brief, and the pro se brief, and agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. A discussion of the contentions advanced in the pro se brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the state. The judgment is affirmed.
