Fields, Judge AFFIRMED Isabel G. Garcia, Pima County Legal Defender By Stephan J. McCaffery Tucson Attorneys for Appellant E S P I N O S A, Judge. ¶1 Following a jury trial, appellant Amadi Cannon was convicted of sale of a narcotic drug, a class two felony. After finding that Cannon had two prior felony convictions, the trial court sentenced him to a partially substantially mitigated, twelve-year prison term. 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 he has thoroughly reviewed the record and has found no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. He asks us to search the record for error. Cannon has not filed a supplemental brief. ¶2 Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to sustaining the verdict, we find there was sufficient evidence to support the jury s finding of guilt. See State v. Tamplin, 195 Ariz. 246, ¶ 2, 986 P.2d 914, 914 (App. 1999). And, the sentence is well within statutory parameters and was lawfully imposed. Pursuant to our obligation under Anders, we have searched the record for fundamental, reversible error and have found none. Therefore, we affirm Cannon s conviction and sentence. _______________________________________ PHILIP G.
