MEMORANDUM DECISION

Judge Howard authored the decision of the Court, in which Presiding Judge Vásquez and Judge Kelly concurred. HOWARD, Judge:

The Hon. Virginia C. Kelly, a retired judge of this court, is called back to active duty to serve on this case pursuant to orders of this court and our supreme court. --------

¶1 After a jury trial, Comfort Slea was convicted of one count of aggravated domestic violence (criminal damage) and two counts of aggravated domestic violence (interfering with a judicial proceeding). She also was convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument. The trial court sentenced Slea to concurrent prison terms, the longest of which is five years.

¶2 Counsel has filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Clark, 196 Ariz. 530, 2 P.3d 89 (App. 1999), asserting she has reviewed the record but found no meritorious issue to raise on appeal. Consistent with Clark, 196 Ariz. 530, ¶ 32, 2 P.3d at 97, she has provided "a detailed factual and procedural history of the case with citations to the record" and asks this court to search the record for error. Slea has not filed a supplemental brief.

¶3 Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to sustaining the verdicts, see State v. Tamplin, 195 Ariz. 246, ¶ 2, 986 P.2d 914, 914 (App. 1999), sufficient evidence supports the jury's verdicts here. See A.R.S. §§ 13-1204(A)(2); 13-1602(A)(1); 13-2810(A)(2); 13-3601(A); 13-3601.02(A). In May 2014, Slea broke the window of the apartment of her former boyfriend and father of her child and, in June 2014, attacked her former boyfriend's girlfriend with a knife at the apartment complex. During the relevant time, an order of protection prohibited Slea from entering the complex, and she had at least three previous convictions for domestic violence offenses in the previous eighty-four months. The evidence supported the trial court's finding that Slea had at least one historical prior felony conviction. Her prison terms were within the statutory limits and imposed properly. A.R.S. §§ 13-703(B), (I); 13-1204(D); 13-3601.02(F).

¶4 We have reviewed the record and found no issues warranting further briefing from the parties. Accordingly, we affirm Slea's convictions and sentences.
