Panel consisted of WORTHEN, C.J., GRIFFITH, J., and HOYLE, J.
PER CURIAM.
Eddie Beshawn Thomas appeals his conviction for possession of a controlled substance, for which he was sentenced to imprisonment for thirty years. 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 indictment with possession of a controlled substance, specifically possession of more than 400 grams of cocaine. Appellant pleaded "not guilty," and the matter proceeded to a bench trial. At the outset of trial, Appellant made a motion to suppress, which was denied. Thereafter, Appellant stipulated to the evidence on the record. The trial court found Appellant to be "guilty" as charged, and a trial on punishment was conducted. Ultimately, the trial court sentenced Appellant to imprisonment for thirty-eight years. This appeal followed. Analysis Pursuant to Anders v. California
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). Appellant's counsel states that he has diligently reviewed the appellate record and is of the opinion that the record reflects 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 this case. 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 case and further states that Appellant's counsel is unable to raise any arguable issues for appeal. We have likewise reviewed the record 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. 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 judgment is affirmed .
