Chandler, Judge AFFIRMED Lori J. Lefferts, Pima County Public Defender By Rebecca A. McLean Tucson Attorneys for Appellant E S P I N O S A, Judge. ¶1 After a jury trial, appellant Marcos Zavala-Cano was convicted of conspiracy to commit armed robbery and burglary, and later pled guilty to sale and/or transfer of a dangerous drug. The trial court sentenced him to mitigated, concurrent fouryear terms of imprisonment. Counsel has filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Clark, 196 Ariz. 530, 2 P.3d 89 (App. 1999), stating she has reviewed the record and has found no meritorious issues for appeal. Counsel has asked us to search the record for fundamental error. Zavala-Cano has not filed a supplemental brief. ¶2 Viewed in the light most favorable to sustaining the verdicts, the evidence was sufficient to support the jury s findings of guilt. See State v. Tamplin, 195 Ariz. 246, ¶ 2, 986 P.2d 914, 914 (App. 1999). The evidence presented at trial showed that ZavalaCano and five others had made arrangements with undercover police officers posing as drug traffickers to commit a home invasion robbery. We further conclude the trial court correctly sentenced Zavala-Cano. ¶3 Pursuant to our obligation under Anders, we have searched the record for fundamental, reversible error and have found none. Zavala-Cano s convictions and sentences are affirmed. /s/ Philip G. Espinosa PHILIP G. ESPINOSA, Judge CONCURRING: /s/ Garye L. Vásquez GARYE L. Và SQUEZ, Presiding Judge /s/ Virginia C.
