CHRISTOPHER ANTHONY TRUJILLO, Appellant. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) 2 CA-CR 2009-0390 DEPARTMENT A MEMORANDUM DECISION Not for Publication Rule 111, Rules of the Supreme Court APPEAL FROM THE SUPERIOR COURT OF PIMA COUNTY Cause No. CR20084897 Honorable Edgar B. Acuña, Judge AFFIRMED R. Lamar Couser Tucson Attorney for Appellant H O W A R D, Chief Judge. ¶1 Following a jury trial, Christopher Trujillo was convicted of aggravated robbery and theft of a means of transportation, both class three felonies. Trujillo admitted to having two, non-historical prior felony convictions, and the trial court sentenced him pursuant to former A.R.S. § 13-702.021 to concurrent, slightly mitigated, 1 Section 13-702.02, in effect at the time of Trujillo s crimes, has since been repealed. 2008 Ariz. Sess. Laws, ch. 301, § 25. five-year prison terms. Trujillo appealed, and counsel has filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) and State v. Leon, 104 Ariz. 297, 451 P.2d 878 (1969), avowing he has diligently searched the record for meritorious and nonfrivolous issues which might result in reversal and can find none. He asks this court to review the record for fundamental error. Trujillo has not filed a supplemental brief. ¶2 Pursuant to our obligation under Anders, we have reviewed the entire record and found no error warranting reversal. Viewed in the light most favorable to sustaining the jury s verdict, see State v. Tamplin, 195 Ariz. 246, ¶ 2, 986 P.2d 914, 914 (App. 1999), the evidence established that Trujillo and two other men followed the victim as he was delivering newspapers at 3:30 a.m. on December 13, 2008, and approached him when he stopped to make a delivery. Trujillo yelled at the victim and began throwing punches, while one of the other men help[ed] to get [the victim] away from the front of [his] vehicle. The third man jumped in [the victim s vehicle] and took off. ¶3 Sufficient evidence supports the jury s verdicts, and the sentences the court imposed were within the statutory range established for the offenses. Thus, we affirm Trujillo s convictions and sentences. /s/ Joseph W. Howard JOSEPH W. HOWARD, Chief Judge CONCURRING: /s/ Philip G. Espinosa PHILIP G. ESPINOSA, Presiding Judge /s/ Virginia C.
