Fields, Judge AFFIRMED Isabel G. Garcia, Pima County Legal Defender By Alex D. Heveri Tucson Attorneys for Appellant K E L L Y, Judge. ¶1 Appellant Louis Felix was charged by indictment with burglary of a non- residential structure, burglary of a residential structure, possession of burglary tools, attempted theft of a means of transportation, and theft of a means of transportation. The state alleged he had two historical prior felony convictions and had been on community supervision at the time he committed the offenses. A jury found him guilty of burglary of a residential structure, possession of burglary tools, and theft of a means of transportation and the trial court found the state had proved its enhancement allegations after Felix admitted them. The court sentenced Felix to concurrent prison terms consisting of partially aggravated, fourteen-year terms for the burglary and theft convictions, and the presumptive, 3.75-year term for possession of burglary tools. Counsel has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Clark, 196 Ariz. 530, 2 P.3d 89 (App. 1999). Felix has not filed a supplemental brief. ¶2 Although counsel avows she has found no meritorious issue to raise on appeal, she asks this court to search the record in this case for error. She asserts our review is not limited to one for fundamental error, arguing that Anders requires the appellate court to review for any error that might warrant relief fundamental or not. Even if we were to agree with counsel, it would not change the outcome here. In reviewing the record before us, we have found no error warranting reversal of the convictions, resentencing, or any other form of appellate relief. The convictions are amply supported by the evidence presented at trial and the sentences are both lawful and appear to have been imposed in a lawful manner. Consequently, we affirm the convictions and the sentences. /s/ Virginia C. Kelly VIRGINIA C. KELLY, Judge CONCURRING: /s/ Garye L. Vásquez GARYE L. Và SQUEZ, Presiding Judge /s/ Philip G.
