APPELLANT
V.
APPEAL FROM THE CRITTENDEN
COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT
[CR-2005-1024B]
STATE OF ARKANSAS
HONORABLE JOHN N.
FOGLEMAN, JUDGE
APPELLEE
AFFIRMED; MOTION GRANTED
RITA W. GRUBER, Judge
This case comes before us for a second time. In Seay v. State, 2010 Ark. App. 36, we
ordered counsel to cure deficiencies in her original no-merit brief. We noted that counsel,
by failing to address the sufficiency of the evidence to revoke Derryl Seay’s probation, did not
fulfill Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-3(k)(1)’s requirement to list in a no-merit brief all rulings adverse
to defendant and explain why each was not a meritorious ground for reversal. We also noted
that counsel failed to comply with Rule 4-2(a)(8) because the addendum lacked a copy of the
conditions of probation.
Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and in compliance with our
order for rebriefing, counsel for Derryl Seay brings the present no-merit appeal and asks to
be relieved as counsel in the case. Seay has not filed points for reversal despite being notified
by the clerk of this court that he had thirty days to do so, nor has the State filed a brief.

The addendum of the present brief has a copy of the conditions of probation, which
include the requirement that Seay report to his probation officer as directed. Counsel’s
argument recites both the probation officer’s testimony that Seay did not report as directed
between June 7, 2006, and May 2, 2008, and Seay’s testimony that he failed to report after
June 2006 and throughout 2007. Counsel concludes that this evidence constituted sufficient
evidence to support the trial court’s ruling that Seay had inexcusably violated the terms and
conditions of his probation by not reporting to his probation officer as directed.
In order to sustain a revocation, the State need show only one violation of probation.
Phillips v. State, 101 Ark. App. 190, 272 S.W.3d 123 (2008). From our review of the record
and the substituted brief presented to us, we find compliance with Rule 4-3(k)(1), and we
hold that there is no merit to this appeal. Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is
granted and the conviction is affirmed.
Conviction affirmed; motion granted.
VAUGHT, C.J., and GLOVER, J., agree.
