DIVISION IV ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS NOT DESIGNATED FOR PUBLICATION K AREN R. B AKER, Judge CACR05-460 JUNE 28, 2006 MAURICE JACKSON APPELLANT v. APPEAL FROM THE MISSISSIPPI COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT [NO. CR-02-233] H O N O R A B LE C H A R LE S BURNETT, JUDGE STATE OF ARKANSAS APPELLEE D A V ID AFFIRMED; MOTION GRANTED The appellant in this case, Maurice Jackson, pled guilty to one count of delivery of a counterfeit controlled substance purporting to be methamphetamine and was placed on thirty-six months’ probation, subject to specific terms and conditions by an order filed on October 31, 2003. On November 18, 2004, the State filed a petition for revocation citing several violations of the probationary sentence. After a probation-revocation hearing, the trial court found that he had violated the conditions of his probation and sentenced him to twelve years’ imprisonment. Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and Rule 4-3(j) of the Rules of the Arkansas Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, appellant’s counsel has filed a motion to withdraw on grounds that the appeal is without merit. This motion is accompanied by an abstract and brief referring to everything in the record that might arguably support an appeal. The clerk of this court furnished appellant with a copy of his counsel’s brief and notified him of his right to file a pro se brief within thirty days. Appellant filed a brief addressing issues that were either wholly outside the record, raised for the first time on appeal, or fully covered in his counsel’s brief. From our review of the record and the briefs presented to us, we find compliance with Rule 4-3(j), and that the appeal is without merit. Accordingly, counsel’s motion to be relieved is granted and the judgments of conviction are affirmed. Affirmed. VAUGHT and CRABTREE , JJ., agree. -2-
