MEMORANDUM DECISION
STARING, VICE CHIEF JUDGE
¶1 After a jury trial, Charles Cuadras was convicted of aggravated driving under the influence while his license was suspended and sentenced to an eight-year prison term. Counsel has filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Clark, 196 Ariz. 530 (App. 1999), stating he has reviewed the record but found no "arguably meritorious issue to raise on appeal" and asking this court to review the record for error. Cuadras has not filed a supplemental brief.
¶2 Viewed in the light most favorable to sustaining the jury's verdict, see State v. Tamplin, 195 Ariz. 246, ¶ 2 (App. 1999), the evidence is sufficient here, see A.R.S. §§ 28-1381(A)(1), 28-1383(A)(1). In April 2008, a sheriff's deputy stopped Cuadras after he ran a red light. Cuadras, whose driver license had been suspended, admitted he was "tipsy" and exhibited numerous cues of impairment during a walk-and-turn test, one-legged-stand test, and HGN test.
¶3 Sufficient evidence supports the trial court's finding that Cuadras had at least two previous felony convictions. His sentence is within the statutory range. See A.R.S. §§ 13-703(C), (J), 28-1383(O)(1).
¶4 We have searched the record for reversible error and found none. Accordingly, we affirm Cuadras's conviction and sentence.
