AFFIRM; and Opinion Filed December 21, 2017. In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-17-00327-CR IRA DEWAYNE BOOKER, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F16-75192-M MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Francis, Evans, and Boatright Opinion by Justice Boatright Ira Dewayne Booker waived a jury trial and pleaded guilty to robbery. After finding appellant guilty, the trial court sentenced him to imprisonment for eight years. On appeal, his attorney filed a brief in which she concluded that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). It presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to advance, as it must. High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 812 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant, who had a right to file a pro se response. Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319–21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014). We advised appellant of that right, but he did not file a response. Having reviewed the record and counsel’s brief, Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826– 27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005), we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support it. We affirm the trial court’s judgment. /Jason Boatright/ JASON BOATRIGHT JUSTICE Do Not Publish TEX. R. APP.
