January 21, 2004

APPEAL FROM THE PULASKI COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, SEVENTH DIVISION

[NO. CR 2000-2590]

HON. JOHN B. PLEGGE,

JUDGE

AFFIRMED

John Mauzy Pittman, Judge

The appellant, Teresa Ann Wade, was found guilty of committing the offenses of second-degree forgery and theft of property with a value of more than $500 but less than $2,500, and was sentenced as a habitual offender to concurrent terms of imprisonment of ten and five years.

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 attorney has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel on the ground that the appeal is wholly without merit. The motion is accompanied by an abstract and brief referring to everything in the record that might arguably support the appeal, including all motions, objections, and requests decided adversely to appellant and a statement of reasons why none of those rulings would be a meritorious ground for reversal.

The clerk of this court furnished appellant with a copy of her counsel's brief and notified her of her right to file a pro se brief within thirty days. Appellant did not file a brief. From our review of the record and the brief 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 judgment of conviction is affirmed.

Stroud, C.J., and Bird, J., agree.
