In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ________________ NO. 09-17-00007-CR ________________ ROECHALLE BARRETT ROWE, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 411th District Court Polk County, Texas Trial Cause No. 24,012 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION A jury found appellant Roechalle Barrett Rowe guilty of possession of a controlled substance and the trial judge assessed punishment at two years of confinement and a fine of $750, but suspended imposition of sentence and placed Rowe on community supervision for two years. Rowe’s appellate counsel filed a brief that presents counsel’s professional evaluation of the record and concludes the appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1 1978). On April 5, 2017, we granted an extension of time for Rowe to file a pro se brief. We received no response from Rowe. We reviewed the appellate record, and we agree with counsel’s conclusion that no arguable issues support an appeal. Therefore, we find it unnecessary to order appointment of new counsel to re-brief the appeal. Cf. Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). We affirm the trial court’s judgment.1 AFFIRMED. ______________________________ STEVE McKEITHEN Chief Justice Submitted on July 6, 2017 Opinion Delivered July 19, 2017 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Johnson, JJ. 1 Rowe may challenge our decision in this case by filing a petition for discretionary review.
