CACR 01-74

JANUARY 16,2002

APPEAL FROM THE GARLAND COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT

[NO. CR 99-61]

HONORABLE EDWARD T. SMITHERMAN, JR., CIRCUIT JUDGE

AFFIRMED

The Garland County Circuit Court found the appellant, Jerry Williams, to be in willful violation of his probation. The court sentenced appellant to eight years in the Arkansas Department of Correction. We affirm.

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 the grounds that this appeal is without merit. Counsel's motion was accompanied by an abstract and brief referring to everything in the record that might arguably support an appeal. Appellant was provided with a copy of his counsel's brief, and notified of his right to file a pro se statement of additional points on appeal within thirty days. Appellant has not filed any points on appeal.

The test for filing a no-merit brief is not whether there is any reversible error, but

rather would an appeal be wholly frivolous. Tucker v. State, 47 Ark. App. 96, 885 S.W.2d 904 (1994). Based on our review of the record for potential error pursuant to Anders v. California, supra, and the requirements of Rule 4-3(j), we hold that the appellant's appeal is wholly without merit. Therefore, pursuant to sections (a) and (b) of In re Memorandum Opinions, 16 Ark. App. 301, 700 S.W.2d 63 (1985), we issue this memorandum opinion granting counsel's motion to be relieved, and affirming the court's judgment.

Affirmed.

Bird and Baker, JJ., agree.
