NO. 12-01-00329-CR
IN THE COURT OF APPEALS
TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT
TYLER, TEXAS

KENNETH BRIDGES,

 
APPEAL FROM THE 114TH

APPELLANT

 

V.

 
JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF

THE STATE OF TEXAS,

APPELLEE

 
SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS
PER CURIAM

Appellant Kenneth Bridges pleaded guilty to the third degree felony offense of possession of marijuana in an amount of five pounds or more but less than fifty pounds. The trial court assessed his punishment at three years deferred adjudication community supervision. The next year, the State filed its Motion to Proceed to Final Adjudication. After a hearing, the trial court found the allegations contained in the State's motion to be "true," and found Appellant guilty of possession of marijuana in an amount of five pounds or more but less than fifty pounds. The trial court assessed Appellant's punishment at five years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice - Institutional Division, and a five thousand dollar fine. Appellant subsequently filed a notice of appeal. We affirm.

Appellant's counsel, in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) and Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969), states that he has diligently reviewed the appellate record and is of the opinion that the record reflects no reversible error and there is no error upon which an appeal can be predicated. He further relates that he is well acquainted with the facts in this case. In compliance with Anders, Gainous, and High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978), Appellant's brief presents a chronological summation of the procedural history of the case, and further states that Appellant's counsel is unable to present any arguable points of error. (1) We have likewise reviewed the record for reversible error and have found none.

As required by Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991), Appellant's counsel has moved for leave to withdraw. We carried the motion for consideration with the merits of the appeal. Having done so and finding no reversible error, Appellant's counsel's motion for leave to withdraw is hereby granted and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
