Haas, Maricopa County Public Defender By Cory Engle, Deputy Public Defender Attorney for Appellant Phoenix D O W N I E, Judge ¶1 Darryl Lamont White timely appeals from the superior court s determination that he violated his terms of probation and the ensuing disposition of the probation violations. 1 Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Leon, 104 Ariz. 297, 451 P.2d 878 (1969), defense counsel has searched the record, found no arguable question of law, asked that we review the record for fundamental error. and See State v. Richardson, 175 Ariz. 336, 339, 857 P.2d 388, 391 (App. 1993). White did not file a supplemental brief in propria persona. FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY ¶2 In July 2009, White pled guilty to possession of drug paraphernalia ( count 1 ) and criminal trespass in the first degree ( count 2 ), both class 6 felonies. He was sentenced to two years probation on both counts, to run concurrently. ¶3 The State petitioned to revoke White s probation in February 2010. It alleged that White had committed new criminal offenses and had failed to comply with several other terms of probation. The court set a probation revocation hearing. It later consolidated that hearing with White s trial on the new 1 On the court s own motion, CA-CR 10-0941 and CA-CR 10-0943, both of which are Anders appeals stemming from the probation violations, were previously ordered consolidated. 2 offenses. A jury found White guilty of shoplifting and organized retail theft. ¶4 As defense counsel acknowledges, the guilty verdicts on the new charges meant that White was in automatic violation of his probation. The court thereafter held a hearing at which the State submitted certified copies of the sentencing minute entries relating to counts 1 and 2. A fingerprint analyst testified that White s fingerprint matched the fingerprint on the minute entry for count 1. The analyst could not confirm that the fingerprint on the minute entry regarding count 2 was White s because multiple photocopies had reduced its quality, and it lacked sufficient clarity for a comparison. White s probation officer testified that White was on probation for both counts 1 and 2 when he committed the new criminal offenses. ¶5 The court found that White s name and date of birth appeared on the minute entry for count 2; sentencing for counts 1 and 2, occurred on the same day before the same judge; and the sentences for counts 1 and 2 were ordered to run concurrently. The court concluded White was the person convicted of counts 1 and 2, and terminated his probation. It sentenced him to time served.
