MARCUS ROSS
APPELLANT
V.
JUNE 29, 2011
APPEAL FROM THE PULASKI
COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT,
SEVENTH DIVISION
[NO. CR 2007-4553]
HONORABLE BARRY SIMS, JUDGE
STATE OF ARKANSAS
APPELLEE
AFFIRMED; MOTION GRANTED
ROBIN F. WYNNE, Judge
Appellant Marcus Ross appeals from the revocation of his probation, which resulted
in a ten-year sentence for possession of a controlled substance. Appellant’s attorney has filed
a motion to be relieved as appellate counsel and a no-merit brief pursuant to Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-3(k) (2011). The brief
includes a list of matters in the record that might arguably support an appeal and a discussion
of why counsel considers each matter to be without merit. Appellant, acting pro se, has filed
several points for reversal.
The trial court’s denial of appellant’s motion to dismiss and the resulting sentence were
the only rulings adverse to appellant in the proceeding below. After careful review of the
record, the brief, and appellant’s pro se points, we hold that counsel has complied with the
requirements established by the Arkansas Supreme Court for no-merit cases, that appellant
Cite as 2011 Ark. App. 470
raises no meritorious arguments for reversal, and that the appeal is wholly without merit.
Accordingly, we affirm the revocation and grant counsel’s motion to be relieved as appellate
counsel.
Affirmed; motion granted.
M ARTIN and H OOFMAN , JJ., agree.
