On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. F06-66792-M.

Before Justices WRIGHT, BRIDGES, and FRANCIS.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Nathaniel Allen waived a jury and pleaded guilty to murder. After finding appellant guilty, the trial court assessed punishment at sixty years' imprisonment. On appeal, appellant's attorney filed a brief in which she concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex.Crim.App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se response. We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). We agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. We affirm the trial court's judgment.
