Appeals from the 241st Judicial District Court of Smith County, Texas.

Panel consisted of WORTHEN, C.J., GRIFFITH, J., and DeVASTO, J.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Jamarist Montrel Paxton appeals his three convictions for delivery of a controlled substance in a drug free zone. In each case, he entered a guilty plea. The trial court sentenced him to eight years of imprisonment in each case, the sentences to run concurrently. Appellant's counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967) and Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex.Crim.App. 1969). We affirm.

BACKGROUND

Appellant was charged by information with three separate offenses of delivery of cocaine within one thousand feet of an elementary school. In each case, Appellant waived his right to a jury trial, stipulated to the evidence, and pleaded guilty without an agreement as to punishment. After a presentence investigation and a sentencing hearing, the trial court sentenced Appellant to eight years of confinement in each case. The trial court ordered the three sentences to run concurrently.

ANALYSIS PURSUANT TOANDERS V. CALIFORNIA

Appellant's counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders and Gainous, stating that he has diligently reviewed the appellate records and is of the opinion that the records reflect no reversible error and that there is no error upon which an appeal can be predicated. He further relates that he is well acquainted with the facts in these cases. In compliance with Anders, Gainous, and High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.Crim.App. 1978), Appellant's brief presents a chronological summation of the procedural history of the cases, and further states that Appellant's counsel is unable to raise any arguable issues for appeal. We have likewise reviewed the records for reversible error and have found none.

CONCLUSION

As required by Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex.Crim.App. 1991), Appellant's counsel has moved for leave to withdraw. We carried the motion for consideration with the merits of the appeal. Having done so and finding no reversible error, Appellant's counsel's motion for leave to withdraw is hereby granted and the trial court's judgments are affirmed.
