STATE OF ARKANSAS

APPELLEE

CACR00-611

January 17, 2001

APPEAL FROM THE MISSISSIPPI COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT

[NO. CR99-199]

HONORABLE SAMUEL TURNER, JR., CIRCUIT JUDGE

AFFIRMED

Following the jury's finding that appellant, Willie Lee Brown, was guilty of driving while intoxicated (DWI), he was sentenced to seventy-two months imprisonment for fourth-offense DWI. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and Ark.R.Sup.Ct. 4-3(j)(1) (2000), appellant's counsel filed a motion to withdraw as appellant's attorney, alleging that this appeal is without merit. Counsel presented a brief stating that there were no rulings adverse to appellant. The clerk of this court furnished appellant with a copy of counsel's brief and notified him of his right to file a pro se statement of points for reversal within thirty days. Appellant did not file a statement.

We have reviewed counsel's brief and abstract and agree that none of the rulings adverse to appellant provided a meritorious ground for reversal. Consequently, we grant counsel's motion to be relieved as counsel and affirm appellant's conviction.

Affirmed.

BIRD and GRIFFEN, JJ., agree.
